For their fourth album, The Bottom Dwellers team up with producer Max Hart (The War On Drugs, Aaron Lee Tasjan, We Are Scientists) to tie together their signature eclectic sound that explores the wide-range of the Americana genre. The result is a patchwork of brooding war ballads, ecological disaster waltzes, and 60s-inspired country rock that is surprisingly cohesive. After 15 years, the Bottom Dwellers have gelled into a fine-tuned, song-focused group that is as comfortable pushing the boundaries of Americana as they are playing traditional honky tonk.
