Elliott BROOD call their music Death Country – dark, gritty folk music built around whiskey-drenched vocals and lyrics evoking images of love, loss and murder. In their soul-thumping bluegrass songs, banjo keeps time to a strange and chunky angular stomp, with vicious Kentucky-hardcore acoustic guitar and somber, achingly confessional vocal harmonies.

The Toronto-based trio’s six-song debut EP Tin Type is resembles an old-time photo album. Order it now from weewerk if you’re a fan of The Handsome Family, Johnny Dowd, Jon-Rae and the River, or The FemBots.
