Mortal Prophets is back, the experimental folk/rock/blues project form John Beckmann. Beckmann has a new EP on March 15, the 6-song Sleeping In My Bed. We're excited to share the news, along with the lead single and title track, "Sleeping In My Bed." The sounds draw from traditional acoustic folk, but with atmospheric and dark effects that create a foreboding tone in contrast to memorable melody.
Mortal Prophets previously released two LPs, Me and the Devil and, most recently Dealey Plaza Blues.
Sleeping In My Bed tracklisting:
01. Gun and a Prayer
02. Sleeping in My Bed
03. Tom Waits in Drag
04. Hell Or High Water
