They say a change is as good as a rest, and that is definitely the case with this Louisville levellers’ third offering. Recorded at The Funeral Home, released through a new label and with a new drummer in tow, ‘House With A Curse’ is loaded with surprises – the most significant being the change of sound. With a nod towards

Jawbox’s
J Robbins and Squirrel Bait man
Peter Searcy. Shocking, but storming none the less.
