Tobacco City will release their new album, Horses, on March 7 via Scissor Tail Records. The record is a travelogue of youthful indiscretions, summer freedom, and the small and miraculous things that adorn the corners of small-town life. Recalling the freewheeling cosmic country folk of Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, the album — built around the combined talents of Chris Coleslaw and Lexi Goddard — is an ode to old-school Americana, to earnest country stories and the characters that populate each chapter.
Their latest single, “Autumn”, is a gorgeous rural rabble-rouser, pedal steel guitar ringing in the late hours of the evening and voices carrying forth words of desperation and longing. An authentic portrait of country music that balances the remembrance of the past with the promise of the future. The band sings of harsh realities tempered by memories drenched in ill-fitting nostalgia.
“‘Autumn’ is about the hilarious pains of growing up in a shitty small town,” says Coleslaw. “All of the embarrassment and humiliation of being a teenager all seems so funny and sad from years away. All of it distorts as it becomes crystallized as memory. This memory takes place in permanent Autumn.”
