'She
sings like an angel & 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 & 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 Village
Voice, Time Out, Uncut, Relix, & 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.' -Hacktone Records
