Experience the captivating soundscape of Federale’s The Blood Flowed Like Wine, their third full-length release that brilliantly channels the eerie and intense atmosphere of classic Spaghetti Western films. Crafted over two years, this album showcases soaring operatic vocals, bold trumpet fanfares, and the twang of reverb-soaked guitars.
Notably, this release features collaborations with Alex Maas from The Black Angels and KP Thomas of Spindrift, adding a lyrical depth that complements the band’s signature sound. The inclusion of an array of instruments, such as strings from Portland’s 45th Parallel Ensemble, flute, French horn, and oboe with members of the Oregon Symphony, enriches the auditory experience. The haunting beauty is further enhanced by spooky electronic textures and exotic instruments.
Federale has made a significant mark on the music scene, having toured the West Coast and shared stages with acts like The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Their music has even graced popular shows like Supernatural and commercials for Dodge and Chrysler. This double LP edition comes with a unique band sticker and a digital download code, making it a must-have for vinyl enthusiasts and fans of indie rock.
