Bremen by PigPen Theatre Co.
The Huffington Post's #10 album of 2012!
With their debut album "Bremen", the award-winning PigPen Theatre Co. steps into the studio for the first time. Born out of their critically acclaimed stories written for the stage, "Bremen" finds the balance between theatricality and subtlety. PigPen embraces rich storytelling, often pairing haunting lyrics with the playful melodies and levity of their productions. Whether it’s the driving banjos that fuel the dusty “Crow”, the warm, lush harmonies in “As Lonely As Me,” or the nostalgia found in the swelling strings of “Grand Old Paris,” each track finds a unique way to stick with you.
