AA Bondy - When The Devil's Loose
in stores Sept 01, 2009

Recorded primarily in Water Valley, MS in April and May, When The Devil's Loose expands upon the stripped-down and stirring sound of his debut album, American Hearts. A Full band now accompanies him on most tracks, lending a full, roomy sound to the 10 haunting songs.

Carried along by Bondy's lived-in voice, When The Devil's Loose ranges from a lonely twang ("Oh The Vampyre"), to lullaby-like ("On The Moon"), to inflected with Stax spook ("To The Morning"), to the ethereal cadence of "When The Devil's Loose" and the swirling "I Can See The Pines Are Dancing".

Track listing for When The Devil's Loose is as follows:
1. When The Devil's Loose
2. Mightiest of Guns
3. A Slow Parade
4. To The Morning
5. Oh The Vampyre
6. I Can See The Pines Are Dancing
7. False River
8. On The Moon
9. The Mercy Wheel
10. The Coal Hits The Fire

American Hearts, Bondy's debut, was re-released by Fat Possum in 2008 after its initial bow on Superphonic in 2007. In addition to landing his network television debut on Late Nights with Conan O'Brien, the album also caught the attention of well-known media such as NPR ("a real talent for hard-bitten blues-folk music...as well as an impressive arsenal of sneakily grabby guitar lines."); Popmatters ("Sparse yet effective, powerful and poignant."); and Pitchfork ("...an unfolding tableau...described with a troubadour's guitar and an obsessive's mastery of form and musical history").
