Released: Jan 2006
Label: Saddle Creek Records
A monument stands at the center of Two Gallants' sophomore album, and like any dramatic reminder of a dark era passed, it inspires some serious introspection. At almost 10 minutes in length, "Threnody" is exactly what its title suggests, a poetic song of lament -- specifically, a tale of plague set in some godforsaken outpost during some lost moment in history. Coursing simply over drums, guitar, cello, and voice, it's as ragged and dire as a freshly dug grave. Not exactly warm and fuzzy stuff, but a great indication of what Two Gallants -- who are neck and neck with the Decemberists for the "Most Literate Band" title -- are all about.
