Witch Season

The long-awaited third album from country-rock super-faves, The Court and Spark, and the band's delicious follow-up to the band's recent "Dead Diamond River" EP. Twelve solid tracks of Byrds/Burrito Brothers twang and lilt, dressed up, infused, and distilled with sonic elements from all over the map -- including the use of a one-of-a-kind pump organ housed at San Francisco's St. John the Evangelist Church, some horn-drenched dub, some Stonesy honky tonk, and a taste of gentle psychedelia. A Topanga Canyon sunshine reverie, and the band's crowning achievement thus far.
