Husband and wife duo Shovels & Rope write literate, Southern Gothic infused songs of a uniformly high quality – one that sets them apart from the vast majority of their contemporaries.

They will release their new album Little Seeds on their new label New West Records on 7th October. With song titles such as Botched Execution, Mourning Song, The Last Hawk and subject matters ranging from Alzheimer’s disease (Invisible Man) to over-medicating children (Johnny Come Outside) to racial unity (BWYR) the duo cover some pretty bleak topics, but always manage to exude a dark humour, deep sentiment and the celebration of the genuine, quirky and beautiful things in life.

The first taste comes with I Know – listen below.
