That Better Land, by Noel'le Longhaul

That Better Land

by Noel'le Longhaul

supported by

BrendanCH 400-year-old Child ballads echoing ancient star-crossed loves, cowboy campfire boot-tappers, odes to hobos dying in infinite twilight rambling, false-hearted fowl hollers--this album absorbs relic sound waves of the old, weird America and refashions them into something that sounds effortlessly young. Favorite track: Fair Margaret and Sweet William.

One of the most powerful records in my collection. Perfect queer experimental folk. This is cool cuz it’s still Noel’le solo in their bedroom but it’s the start of Loone! Wish y’all would record more material!… Ansel__knight
