Dead Reckoning -GREEN VINYL-

Vinyl LP pressing. "Dead Reckoning, the third album from Portland's The Builders And The Butchers, plays out a little like Cormac McCarthy Unplugged, a ramshackle 19th century end-times sermon gone folk-rock. "The whole world's rotten to the core," singer Ryan Sollee reminds us with a howl on the album's most cathartic chorus. We may already be this screwed, The Builders And The Butchers seem to be suggesting throughout Dead Reckoning. High time we started shouting about it. But even as they scream down the sky, The Builders And The Butchers seem to be having a blast, and it's catching. Should the end of days finds you with a bottle of whiskey and Dead Reckoning, pray you've got a way to play the thing." - Paul Thompson, Pitchfork. "The Builders And The Butchers make records the way the bards used to pass on stories. They're poetic and captivating, and do to songwriting what Clint Eastwood does to movies. On it's fourth album, Dead Reckoning, the band continues that tradition, pounding out 12 more boot-stomping folk rock tracks, all with an epic story line to keep the listener riveted." - Alex Young, Consequence of Sound. "Dead Reckoning begs for foot stomping while Sollee bemoans our miserable world; if we're all going to hell, we might as well enjoy the ride down." - Benjamin Opipari, Washington Post.
