"She
sings like an angel and plays lap steel guitar like the Devil. Audio Narcotics."
(Village Voice)
"The distorted cry of a lap steel guitar slices through the Brooklyn
night. A voice sings with aching sweetness and strength. Caressing melodies
are barbed with stinging solos. This is the sound of The Last Town Chorus
- the revolving ensemble led by singer/writer/lap-steel-guitarist Megan
Hickey - whose singular approach to music has beguiled writers from The
Village Voice, Time Out, Uncut, Relix, and No Depression among countless
others. Her live shows are nothing short of revelatory, bringing audience
members to tears, turning critics into fanatics and building a fiercely
loyal fan base in every city The Last Town Chorus visits. The new album,
Wire Waltz, is even deeper, more powerful and more personal than the last
and includes the wistful reinvention of David Bowie's 'Modern Love' that
was recently featured in an episode of Grey's Anatomy. Available on September
25th in the UK (Loose Music/Domino Publishing) and in early February in
the US (Hacktone Records), Wire Waltz is comfort food for wounded souls."
