Having recently relocated to Albuquerque, New Mexico, the one-time Chicago-based husband-and-wife duo of Brett and Rennie Sparks, more commonly known as the Handsome Family, will embark on a U.S. tour in support of their forthcoming album, Twilight. The new record will by released by Carrot Top (the record label, not the unbearably annoying freak hocking cheap phone calls on TV) on September 24th.

Twilight marks the first release by the loving, ever-uplifting couple since last year's In the Air. While the band may have had their fair share of experience with anti-depressants and mental restabilization, they never disappoint musically, and have managed to turn their personal turmoil into a gift for us all. My, that was awfully nice of them.
