BIG EARS FESTIVAL

Cowboy Sadness

Thu   Mar   27   2025 - 11:40 PM

“When their powers combine, gorgeously droning tone poems are the result.” – Stereogum

What is the true sound of a red-orange sun emerging just above the horizon? What’s the sonic equivalent of a monolithic butte towering high above a vacant valley, as menacing thunderheads form in the distance? The answers lie in the atmospheric & sprawling debut from Cowboy Sadness – a new collaborative project from The Antlers, Bing & Ruth, & Port St. Willow. The stylistic signatures of each member – Moore’s heavy, undulating organs, Silberman’s melancholic guitars, & Principe’s galloping, hypnotic drums – form thick textures, cavernous spaces, & deep grooves.
