"'Dripping with creepy invention'--Uncut"

Among the garage-rock nooks and country crannies of Detroit lurks the music of Blanche. Husband and wife Dan John and Tracee Miller trade intense and haunting vocals over an uneasy sea of pedal steel, banjo, raw guitar sounds, and sparse, driving drumming. Some songs are sad and pretty, while others have a powerful, spooky feel. The melodies trick you into singing along with tales of superstitions, garbage picking, fading trust, and feelings of lost hope. Blanche represents the next stage in gothic-alternative country music, grown right here in southeastern Michigan and now gone international. ""Imagine catching the Carter Family drowning in a vat of self pity--and enjoying it," urges England's Guardian newspaper.
