Review: Cracklin Moth – Redbird EP (or) like a moth to a citronella flame

Cracklin Moth

Chicago’s excellent Cracklin Moth has an excellent new EP titled My Heart Is Leaking out now. The band seems to fly a little under the radar here in Chicago, but (I can only guess) probably not for long. Led by singer/guitarist Matt Ammerman’s gravelly voice and some incredibly weightless pedal steel guitar, the band is back with another batch of sun-soaked tunes. This is (however) less twangy that their Red Bird EP and is a bit more sprightly. I’d still probably call it urban alt-country, but with a big classic golden pop influence. Recommended for fans of The Jayhawks and Summerteeth-era Wilco, Brendan Benson, etc…
