The Handsome Family
americana, gothic country
The Handsome Family, the musical project of husband-and-wife duo Brett and Rennie Sparks, crafts a unique brand of gothic Americana and alt-country. Known for their melancholic and literary songwriting, they gained widespread recognition for their song "Far from Any Road," the theme for the HBO series "True Detective." Their music often explores dark, narrative themes with an artful elegance and a distinctive, haunting sound.
