Dead Reckoning

VINYL FORMAT. Portland, Oregon's The Builders and the Butchers live and die for its connection with the audience. On their third album, Dead Reckoning, The Builders went into the studio with the idea of peeling back layers to where the essence of the song lies, and captured the magic of their raucous, impassioned live show. Last year's Salvation is a Deep Dark Well has sold over 6,000. They have toured with Heartless Bastards, Portugal The Man, Amanda Palmer, to name a few.

"The Builders and the Butchers' musical output is something of a Pentecostal throw-down -- the musical underpinnings are reminiscent of bluegrass, but the performances are raw and unschooled, with Sollee in particular throwing off a maniacally ecclesiastical sort of energy...dark, sparkling, Leadbelly-like terrain covered by death-fixated epics..." --Paste
