The Last Town Chorus

The distorted cry of a lap-steel guitar slices through the Brooklyn night. A voice sings with aching sweetness and strength. Caressing melodies are barbed with stinging solos. This is the sound of The Last Town Chorus - the revolving ensemble led by singer/writer/lap-steel-guitarist Megan Hickey.

The first album by The Last Town Chorus earned rave reviews in America and England. A 4-star review in Uncut Magazine and a Village Voice writer proclaiming he had "played it to death" were typical of the reactions from the press. Slack-jawed reviews also ran in The Observer, The Guardian, Time Out New York and The Chicago Reader, while both Paste and Relix ran full feature articles on the group.

The new album, Wire Waltz, is even deeper, more powerful and more personal than their debut, and includes the wistful reinvention of David Bowie's "Modern Love" recently featured in an episode of Grey's Anatomy.
