The Dead Letters E.P is more than just a band writing songs. These are carefully crafted and refined compositions that seem to be tailor made for the sadness, violence of the human condition.
From the first track “Ghost Of A Thousand Battles” to its last “War” this E.P truly conjures up the sound and emotion of a wild west gunfight, led by a band of gypsies, with saddles blazing on the coast of the Mediterranean.
Their music has been tagged as “ethno-roots,” “tzatziki western,” “ghost country,” and “gypsy surf” due to their east-meets-west style of writing.
