BRAND NEW Limited edition LP vinyl pressing of new album by BLANCHE.

Full colour, double weight card, embossed gatefold sleeve, full colour card inner sleeve, 180g pressing with full colour labels.

With glints of grit and strychnine-laced grandeur from Detroit, Blanche weave eerily beautiful tales, inspired by Depression-era blues, early country music, and stripped-down rock 'n' roll, all delivered in the style of an electrified gospel quintet.

Blanche's 2004 debut 'If We Can't Trust The Doctors', led critics to draw comparisons with Nick Cave 's black-hearted romance and the back porch charm of The Carter Family.

Blanche proved they could deliver the goods live when they toured the UK with The White Stripes and Calexico, and they then formed the spine of Loretta Lynn 's backing band on her Grammy-winning 'Van Lear Rose' album, produced by Jack White.

'Little Amber Bottles' is an album of redemption, and while it finds Blanche in an angrier mood, that tone is alternately aggressive and dreamy, with textured arrangements often soaked in reverb, resulting in a sophisticated, soulful simple sound. Guest appearances by Little Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs) on banjo/mandolin, and Isobel Campbell on cello.
