Munly & the Lee Lewis Harlots
Smooch/Alternative Tentacles recording artist Munly & the Lee Lewis Harlots:

"Munly is a member in good standing of Slim Cessna's Auto Club, one of our favorite
sort of punk, sort of country, sort of creepy folk outfits, who hail from the fine
state of Colorado. But as they say, there's something rotten in Colorado. Well,
maybe they don't say that now, but they soon will. A beautiful state full of forests
and snow and wildlife and mountains, has somehow become the home to the droning
confrontational misanthropy of Boyd Rice, the swampy downer folk of Sixteen
Horsepower, the crushing, biblical damnation of the Woven Hand, the snake oil
selling country punk revival of Slim Cessna and now Munly, a bastard musical mutt
incorporating bits and pieces of all the above mentioned misanthropes and
miscreants. And we couldn't be more pleased. Munly definitely sounds like a head on
collision between Slim Cessna and the Woven Hand. Dark and swoonsome, seasickly
swampy dirges, with shuffling graveyard percussion, strummed acoustic guitars, minor
key strings, fiery fiddles and banjoes. But unlike the rollicking punkiness of
Cessna's Autoclub, Munly is a much darker proposition. Lurching like a strangely
hideous beast, only ever glimpsed at dusk and only out of the corner of your eye,
and always sending shivers down your spine. And while occasionally, the tempo does
pick up, it's only the tempo that does, the mood remains one of hopelessness,
bitterness and broken heartedness." - Aquarius Records
