(Loose Music) 11 tracks, digipack incl. booklet

Their fans include T Bone Burnett, Jack White and cult author & music journalist Greil Marcus. The Americans stand for a mixture of country and blues, garnished with a fiery touch of rock'n'roll. United by their enthusiasm for American roots music, the three boys spent years listening to old recordings and unknown recordings as well as teaching themselves banjo, fiddle and mandolin.

Frontman Patrick Ferris says: “We were suspicious of modern rock music. I think we were all curious whether we could summon the spirit of old blues and country through what we'd learned firsthand, and create something brand new, leaving behind the nostalgia and musical aesthetics.”
