A Tear In The Eye Is A Wound..

Sugar Hill Records will release A Tear in the Eye Is a Wound in the Heart... the second album by Black Prairie, the exploratory, back-porch ensemble founded by the Decemberists Chris Funk, Nate Query and Jenny Conlee.<br>Produced by Tucker Martine, Tear in the Eye... is the follow up to Feast of the Hunter s Moon , and the first Black Prairie album to primarily feature vocalist Annalisa Tornfelt. Written collaboratively by all band members, the album feels cinematic and familiar; Tornfelt s gentle, classic country-inspired singing is connected to the band s Baltic-Appalachian instrumentals by strange, orchestral interludes. The record is an evolution of the band s love of instrumental, Italian film score weirdness and the venerable, forgotten roots of American and Eastern European folk.
