“Everything must wither and burn,” Creekbed Carter Hogan quivers on their new LP, Peasants Revolt. Throughout the album, Hogan seems to be shedding skin in evolution, at times unrecognizable to themself (“Mirrors”) but striving for something more with a wide-armed solidarity and characteristically wicked wit. Since leaving Austin, Hogan’s sound has evolved with hookier melodies while still preserving their provocatively askew poetic turns and eclectic folk explorations. Riffling through lines that run tender, furious, and hilarious (often simultaneously), Peasants Revolt delivers Hogan’s best work yet and establishes them as cornerstone of the vibrant emerging alt-Americana scene.
