16 Horsepower - Secret South

Originally released in 2000, Secret South showcases the band at their darkest and most  expansive: a feverish blend of Gothic Americana, folk, country influences and an occult, shimmering melancholy.

Bandoneon, banjo, hurdy-gurdy and ethereal vocals create a sound  that seems far removed from modernity yet remains timeless – archaic, intense and utterly  captivating. As the tracks oscillate between ascetic austerity and opulent expansiveness, the  full emotional force of an album that still enjoys cult status today unfolds.
