THE Handsome Family’s return to their favourite country spot, The Band Room at Low Mill, Farndale, tomorrow night at 7.30pm has sold out.

New Mexico husband and wife Brett and Rennie Sparks are celebrating their 20th anniversary with their new album, Honey Moon, a skewed 21st century version of 19th century romance released last month on Loose Music.

“It’s a love song to the world that takes place under bowed branches and deep within winding corn mazes,” says Rennie. “Lovers kiss in dripping wet caves and call to each other from trembling mountain peaks. They sigh on windy drawbridges and weep silver puddles in the street.”

How romantic.
