CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description The Last Town Chorus lives in Brooklyn, New York, and is led by the singular voice and haunting lap steel playing of Megan Hickey. The debut album, called 'a hypnotic wonder' by the BBC, has slowly crept around the globe based on listener and critical affection. "Exquisitely mournful... that they can address the pleasures of urban life, while sounding so utterly dislocated from it, is what makes the Last Town Chorus so unusually poignant" Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsThe Last Town Chorus Ben Beeke | Kalamazoo, MI USA | 03/27/2006 (3 out of 5 stars) "Listen to the lonely. The Last Town Chorus is a slow-burning, country-gothic album from singer, lap steel musician, and songwriter Megan Hickey, with guitarist and songwriting partner Nat Guy. Comparisons to the Stanley Brothers are obvious, but the sound is more modern and cinematic, the sound of a noir movie set in a desert town. Megan takes all the vocal duties and sings meaningfully and without flourish beyond crescendos and decrescendos, with an effect similar to the lap-steel's reverb and delay. I'm not sure that there's a vocal note shorter than a half-measure. The lyrics, thus presented, take repeated, attentive listening to stick - they sound like mourning, but read like longing. It's worth owning, to mine at your own pace ...." Brooklyn is Lucky kgretalove | The Lowcountry | 02/26/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I heard these guys live on WFMU 2/24/03 and fell in love. They are dreamy. Their sound is a cleaner & quieter Mazzy Star, but moody just the same. Buy it."
