1994 release, the fourth album from this Indie/Electropop outfit led by singer/songwriter Stephin Merritt. It’s title, lyrics and musical styling are a nod to Country music, though the songs of Stephin Merritt remain rooted in classic pop and synthesizers. Virtually every song deals with roads and travel – and several songs’ lyrics implicitly reference vampires.
