The Constellations - Southern Gothic

"From Lou Reed's New York to Brian Wilson's California, the local color and street-level details of place is a cornerstone of popular American music. On their debut album, the Constellations have entrusted themselves with the formidable task of redefining a city that's already been famously rendered by artists ranging from Little Feat to OutKast. Not only is the revolving-door collective an amalgam of players from Atlanta's rock, soul, and hip-hop scenes, their album Southern Gothic was envisioned as a travelogue to Atlanta after hours, presenting a nocturnal netherworld of sex, violence and intoxication." - Pitchfork
