The Handsome Family - In The Air (2000)

Label: Trocadero Records (Carrot Top) | Language: English

The band was formed in 1993 by husband-and-wife duo Brett Sparks (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Rennie Sparks (bass, banjo, vocals) and drummer Mike Werner, although the band would later revolve around Rennie, who writes virtually all of the lyrics, and Brett, who writes and plays most of the music, with guest musicians completing the band line-up for recordings and live work. The Handsome Family's style is a blend of traditional country, bluegrass, and murder ballads. Early recordings have rock elements, but these were less evident from 1996's Milk and Scissors onwards.

Rennie's lyrics have a strong storytelling component, drawing on themes from Gothic fiction, as well as American folk music, and often involving macabre subjects as murders, suicides and ghosts. Some songs are also based on actual historical figures or events, including the lives and deaths of Amelia Earhart ("Amelia Earhart vs. the Dancing Bear", on Milk and Scissors), Emily Shore ("Emily Shore 1819-1839", on Milk and Scissors), Robert Wadlow ("The Giant of Illinois", on Through the Trees), Natalie Wood ("Natalie Wood", an outtake from Twilight, which appears on Smothered and Covered), and Nikola Tesla ("Tesla's Hotel Room", on Last Days of Wonder).

"In the Air"

The Handsome Family make honky-pop and avant-tonk country music for people who would rather pretend Shania and Garth never existed. On its fourth album, the husband-and-wife team of Brett and Rennie Sparks continue to trade in infinitely sad songs. "Above the dark highway/ on a black tar roof/Stood the sad milkman in love with the moon, " sings a resigned Brett. The gloom and desperation of "In the Air"'s lyrics are matched by solemn melodies etched out by spare, guitar-based instrumentation. Unlike some of its faux-depression, alt-country counterparts, this Chicago duo doesn't over-emote. But when Brett spins a tale about a moon that could care less and a crowd that throws bottles at a stupid, hopeless romantic, you feel his pain.

"In the Air"

The Handsome Family live in Chicago to the extent they can stand to live anywhere . Lyricist Rennie Sparks has visions, and even the happy ones spook, like the mother and baby who "walk into the waves no longer fearing the tides." If Brett Sparks, who sings like Johnny Cash and fashions the Family's music out of "Long Black Veil," seems more personable then his wife, that's just a bluff. "Darling, don't you know it's only human to want to kill a beautiful thing" goes one chorus and the song truly is beautiful, the duo's craft reaching a peak.
