THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Headed by brothers Marty and Matt Bohannon, The Bohannons are one of America’s undiscovered musical treasures — a massively underappreciated band that has been doing it their way for more than 20 years.
The brothers Bohannon, along with drummer Mike Gault and bassist Justin Colburn, have just released their latest studio album Night Construction. Split between Tennessee and Alabama — Chattanooga and Birmingham, specifically and respectively — the band emerge from post-Covid paranoia and doubt to claim what is rightfully theirs.
Recorded and mixed at Dial Back Sound in Mississippi and Chase Park Transduction in Athens, Georgia, by Henry Barbe, The Bohannons’ fifth album is a down-to-earth, objectively heavy snapshot of two red-headed brothers scratching a headspace that can’t come to terms with a cultural friction that only the Southeastern United States can whip up.
Time and distance are simply tools of creativity for the band. Their orbit has had its revolutions, but given that the story of The Bohannons is based on reflection and the fact that a tumultuous past is omnipresent. Difficult times and difficult places have always been at the center of the writing and Night Construction is proof that dreams are escape, good and evil are real and that there is hope for justice out there somewhere.”
