The Strugglers - "You Win"

 “You Win”, The Strugglers debut on Acuarela, was characterised by rich vocals, mournful, reaching string and piano arrangements, guitars, banjos and drums. Likened to The Carter Family, Neil Young and Will Oldham —countrified, but in a country of their own— here, with nine new songs, they have set the geography of which they guide you through territory, that although distant and foreboding, offers solace. “You Win”, committed to tape by veteran engineer Jerry Kee (Superchunk, Polvo, The Mendoza Line), weaved themes of success, failure and anti-climax in its examination of the psychology of desire. With titles such as “Rejection Letter”, “The Disappeared” and “Distant Demands”, is the completion of nine songs. Richly soaked vocals, mournful, reaching string and piano arrangements, guitars, banjos and drums, it sets the geography of which they guide you through a distant and foreboding landscape.
