Bendrix Littleton Deep Dark South

Bendrix Littleton is the writing and recording project of Nashville-via-Dallas musician and producer Bennett Littlejohn. The self-aware, malaise-filled songs on his debut LP Deep Dark South are imbued with the painful beauty of the modern American South, including themes of drug and alcohol abuse, and the dissolution of relationships. Bendrix wrote most of the album on a vintage Harmony H162 acoustic guitar that he found at a flea market in Kentucky and restrung with higher pitched strings (a Nashville tuning). After running the tracks through a Tascam four track cassette recorder, which sped the songs up ever so slightly, Bendrix added layers of lap steel, dobro, and pedal steel. I tried to pair instruments that typically arent used together--ones that Ive shied away from after playing them with uninspired country music. 'Deep Dark South' conjures the feeling of wonder one gets from looking up at the vast Southern night sky. 01 Church Choir 02 Smoke 03 Deep Dark South 04 Backwards 05 Clark 06 Bud Light Flows Like Water 07 Daylight Curls 08 Carry These Things 09 Wine 10 Bedroom
