“Flamboyant 10-track foray into 70’s rock, channeling the spirit of Elton John on tracks like the groovey, Kiss-like rocker “Belmont (One-Trick Pony)” and the magnificently dramatic “Heartbreak Junky”, which highlights the album’s central theme of failed love affairs.” – UNCUT
“A rollicking, densely-arranged rock’n’roll and country originals album with something of Jack White’s crazed vocal delivery.” – MOJO
“A timeless piece of vintage songwriting in the spirit of Chilton and Dylan…It is much like it’s creator; cheery, self-assured, a bit bizarre, slightly comedic, and utterly genius.”utterly genius.” – The Line of Best Fit
The Louisiana-bred, Portland, Oregon-based, rock’n’roll performer that is Kyle Craft has announced his first ever UK shows in May, following the release of his rollicking delight of a record, Full Circle Nightmare, out now via Sub Pop. Having garnered praise for his observational storytelling talents and his uniquely compelling voice, he will now be treating European audiences to his famed, incredible stage performances, accompanied by a full band. This follows an extensive US tour, including dates at SXSW. See full EU tour dates below.
Following up from his acclaimed debut Dolls of Highland, Full Circle Nightmare traverses all the different nuances of rock’n’roll, from the bluegrass twang of ‘Exile Rag,’ to the gothic style of ‘Gold Calf Moan,’ it’s a timeless piece that could exist in any of the past five decades. It evokes a never-ending night out in a sweaty saloon bar: bottomless rounds, endless packs of cigarettes and hours dancing to the jukebox.
Full Circle Nightmare is now available to order from Sub Pop [link here]. There’s also a new T-shirt design. The album is available in the following formats: LP gatefold jacket with custom dust sleeve, CD digipack with poster insert, Cassette and Digital. UK & European orders of the limited Loser edition LP are available on violet-coloured vinyl from select independent retailers (while supplies last).
