These Wild Plains have packaged up their Evils and “Break Your Heart” EPs (along with the previously-unheralded-on-these-pages-but-equally-as awesome Hey, To Clear The Air EP) into an easy to consume self-titled collection. Now you can get lost in all of their warm, haunting, heart-breaking, fuzzy, twangy, reverb-drenched songs without interruption. Although, I’d gladly get up to flip over the record if they pressed this thing on vinyl.
