"A creative if menacing spirit looms over Denver like a carnival barker with a taste for life's dark lanes. His name is Munly, and he writes the haunted stories that are the backbone of his band's music""The first time in his career that Munly’s songs get their full due, Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots delivers all the Gothic shadows, classic western imagery and boot-scooting twang we’d expect from one of the Mile High City’s most renown Southern Gothic minstrels – and then some. Munly, you’ve finally become a full-blown creep. Congratulations."
Jay Munly is fucking awesome. He's from the Denver Gothic scene, which mixes folk, country, gothic, gospel and shit like that into one delectable stew of jams. He also plays and sings in Slim Cessena's Auto Club, who are cool in their own right, but for my money they don't hold a candle to the man himself. I wanna see this guy live so bad, he was supposed to play near me awhile back and canceled his tour cause he was sick or something. I was pretty bummed out. I can't really put into words how awesome Munly is, just buy the album and enjoy.
