Free Week w/ the Crack Pipes, High Heavens, Tyler Keith, Narrow Haunts

The Crack Pipes have been in earnest stylistic flux since 1995, showcased in the melancholic blues of Beauty School (2005) and glazed psychedelic/garage rock conviction of Every Night Saturday Night (2012). Last year, High Heavens duo Ernest Salaz and John Matthew Walker crafted immensely soulful soft-rock prayers “Life is a Loan Shark” and “Hundred Bullets” with producer Stuart Sikes, featuring instrumentation by members of ...Trail of Dead and Glorium. Rockabilly soloist Tyler Keith of the Neckbones visits from Mississippi, while Narrow Haunts underscore angst-rock in this Free Week phantasm. —2855065
