The Altered Statesman

by The Altered Statesman

supported by

Chris Aubrey One of the greatest records ever recorded. Reminds me of a David Lynch soundtrack to a movie about jazz junkies. His voice is absolutely breathtaking. Can't stop listening. Such an amazing storyteller. 10/10 would recommend to everyone.

about

'Steve Poulton’s songs play like prematurely abandoned picaresques of the urban, down-at-heel variety, and he sings his lyrics in a damaged croon that’s actually soulful. On Altered Statesman’s new self-titled full-length, Poulton and co-producer Joe McMahan have perfected a minimalist funk that falters and swings like it’s dead on its feet. But the head is alive. Altered Statesman is a puzzle, and one of the most sophisticated records a Nashville band has made in recent memory.' - Edd Hurt, The Nashville Scene, 2008
