Hearts And Daggers released their debut album And Then There Was Dust earlier this year, but we have only recently picked up a couple of tracks from it via There’s Always Someone Cooler Than You.

Now we are aware of it, we shall be making an effort to discover a lot more. Of the tracks we have for you, Convict Blues fair drips dust, sweat, blood and whiskey in equal measure and is about as an authentic a tale of chain-gang remorse as you’ll hear this side of Huntsville Penitentiary.

Meanwhile Desperado’s Lullaby is from their preceding EP A Home For My Lonely Tears and is a more raucous affair calling to mind the rawhide feel of 90s Cowpunk and even hinting at a Dr Feelgood style guitar lick.

So if gun-slingers and bandits, broken dreams and bruised hearts, booze and bars, gallows and deserts feature in your tales of choice, buy the album here.
