Donovan Quinn & the 13th Month "Your Wicked Man" update

Donovan Quinn & the 13th Month - Mom's House
Donovan Quinn & the 13th Month - Red Corona


Your Wicked Man is the second album from his primary band, Donovan Quinn & the 13th Month, created in collaboration with Nick Marcantonio on bass and Jason Quever (Papercuts) as producer and multi-instrumentalist. In much the same way his presence molded Cass McCombs’ early efforts, Quever’s contributions to Your Wicked Man serve Quinn’s narratives with arrangements that range from ornamental to rollicking to bare, pushing Quinn's embrace of rustic, poetic popcraft to the fore. The band's distinct take on art-pop forms re-imagines early efforts from Mekons, Nikki Sudden and John Cale as filtered through Californian folk-rock. (Soft Abuse)


Donovan Quinn & the 13th Month's forthcoming second album "Your Wicked Man," is due out on August 3rd via Soft Abuse (LP/DL) and Shrimper Records(CD).
