wrinkle neck mules, one of the more interesting band names i have come across recently, has a new record, apprentice to ghosts, which came out on the 21st of last month. i have not heard the entire thing, but i really, really dig this little twangy ditty. they’ve been around for like 12 years and have released 5 years, and much like american aquarium, they’re now just coming into my realm of consciousness? has anyone heard of these guys, or any of their records? i am definitely intrigued. the record came out on lower 40, btw. also, they apparently have a song in a geico commercial? dont think i have seen that one, or maybe i have without even knowing?
I heard the ‘Mules in 04 or 05 and have a copy of their debut album. I like it mostly, but I’ve never taken the initiative to go see them.
These guys make good music. This new one is still growing on me, so at this point, I think I still prefer their older stuff. You gotta check out “let the lead fly” and “pull the brake” Talented bunch of guys that deserve a lot more recognition than they get. One of my top ten bands.
I wish they’d tour a bit, too, but they’re spread all over Texas and Fla. from what I understand.
