St. Paul & the Broken Bones - Half the City
St. Paul & the Broken Bones - Half the City
The album that changed the game for Single Lock. St. Paul & the Broken Bones’ debut record, Half the City. It took them all over the world and then landed them on David Letterman. A landmark record.
“St. Paul and the Broken Bones' music doesn't just mimic the sounds its members love; it regenerates the tradition. This is what happens when players are unusually in tune with each other and with the discoveries they're sharing. Half the City is the first major recorded statement from a band already growing into greatness. Get it now, while the sweat's still fresh.” - NPR
