Limited to 500 copies. A swamp-noir reworking of roots, blues, and outsider gems. Brighton's swamp-noir stalwarts Mudlow return with Run Thru the Cover Crop, a full-length LP of cover versions released via acclaimed German label JukeJoint500. Long known for their slow-burning, smoke-hung blend of blues, jazz, and Southern Gothic storytelling, Mudlow take a sharp left turn here -- offering up ten carefully chosen reinterpretations that reflect the dark undercurrents and idiosyncratic soul of their influences. But this is no paint-by-numbers tribute. With Run Thru the Cover Crop, the band doesn't so much cover songs as inhabit them -- dragging each track down into the lowlands and dressing it in Mudlow's signature grit and shadow. The album's selections span decades and genres, but they're unified by tone and texture: lonesome, bruised, and cinematic. The album cover -- a stark, twilight-drenched image of silhouetted poles and crows perched on power lines -- captures the desolate, timeless feel of the music inside. Run Thru the Cover Crop plays like a haunted mixtape discovered in the glovebox of a car that's been abandoned since the '70s. The album follows 2022's Bad Turn and marks a bold addition to their growing discography -- leaning into tradition while twisting it into new, stranger shapes. For fans of Tom Waits, Morphine, Solomon Burke, Kelly Joe Phelps, and anyone drawn to the murky end of the river.

"Mudlow believe in the darkness, the nightshade of black and blues at twilight and the tension of breath in the space between. It's the music from the closing credits of your favorite movie. It's the song you listen to as you drive off the dock at the end of the chase scene. It's the song that plays as the sun rises over the weed-choked city cemetery. It's the sound you hear as you run through the concrete jungle of southern (UK) bars and clip-joints." --Rick Saunders, Deep Blues Blog
