Singing Bones, originally released in 2003, arrived at a moment when Brett and Rennie Sparks were hitting a creative peak, weaving Rennie's literary, often supernatural lyricism into arrangements that felt simultaneously ancient and unsettling. The album's "Far From Any Road" later introduced millions of True Detective viewers to what devoted fans had known for years: that nobody writes about the American darkness quite like the Handsome Family. Re-release of the classic album from The Handsome Family ""Singing Bones"". Features the True Detective opening theme tune ""Far From Any Road"". Bonus CD 'Invisible Bones' features album outtakes and live recordings. The Handsome Family (songwriting and marriage partners Brett and Rennie Sparks) have been defining the dark end of Americana for over 30 years. Brett writes the music and Rennie writes the words. Their work has been covered by many artists including Jeff Tweedy, Andrew Bird and most-recently Phoebe Bridgers. Tracklist Side A 1. The Forgotten Lake (3:46) 2.
