Like a cowboy bringing his herd to market, the debut LP by Fort Worth, Texas-based Picnic Lightning covers a lot of territory across its eight tracks. “(Son Of) Fort Worth, TX Is About To Explode” is a Stones-like sleazy chugger; “Ecosystem” is dreamy and wide-open spacious; first single “American Ruin” roars and stomps on wild, twisted guitars; and “Fever Dream” drapes country-western vocal harmonies over stick-clicking railroad rhythm. You get the picture. But it all hangs together just fine, thanks to a powerful, vivid production by by Britt Robisheaux of The Theater Fire.
Picnic Lightning goes on sale this Friday from Dreamy Life Records. We’re happy to bring you this exclusive preview!
