Out of the fever swamps of the covid year comes the first full-length Awesome Boys album. Some songs are decades old, written by old friends in a youthful alt country band; some are new explorations of Derailleur songs; so new the paint’s still wet. Somehow, covers of Low and Hank Williams worked their way in. Who knows? Dig in, and enjoy.

Feel free to stream or download; album should be available on Spotify soon as well. If you’re inclined, it’s also available to purchase through Bandcamp (albeit without the covers, because of Bandcamp’s licensing situation… still, they’re available here).
