Synopsis

Album Description

With a musical nod to Concrete Blonde and PJ Harvey and lyric writing reminiscent of Morrissey, Johnette Napolitano and Tori Amos, "The Late Night Plays" is a look into a dark world of obsessive relationships, faked suicides, jealous boyfriends, surreptitious affairs, panic attacks, chilly nights spent wandering through graveyards, hours of staring at winter stars and long make-out sessions in cars parked along the red clay backroads of Alabama. The album was produced by Rusty Cobb (Injected, Butch Walker, Korn).
