bristol rhythm & roots: hoots and hellmouth, originally uploaded by minervacat. Hoots & Hellmouth — The Holy Open Secret. Not a brand new release, but a 2009 album that I can’t stop thinking about and listening to. I often struggle to describe the sound of an album I’m talking about, because “hipsters with banjos” doesn’t…
