The Handsome Family are currently enjoying the additional attention bought to them by their song, Far From Any Road, having been selected by T Bone Burnett to soundtrack the opening credits to HBO’s big hit new drama series True Detective. The growing international attention received by the show has resulted in husband and wife duo, Brett & Rennie Sparks, gathering legions of new fans and opening up their music to an increasingly wider audience. (The second episode of True Detective airs in the UK on Saturday 1st March on Sky Living.)

The Handsome Family celebrated 20 years together as a band in 2013, by releasing their critically acclaimed 9th studio album, ‘Wilderness’, through Loose Music.
