Freakwater lives!  Their 2016 release, Scheherazade, has enjoyed universal critical praise, and ranks #63 on Metacritic's list of the best albums from that year.  Not too shabby! 

Buy the record from Bloodshot now.  A 7" of a track from the record, "The Asp and the Albatross", with a non-album B-side, "The Allegory of the Cave", is also  available.

Did you enjoy Freakwater's supporting musicians on the 2016 tours?  We did, too! Afterward,  guitarist Morgan Geer traversed the United States once again,  supporting The Handsome Family,  and continues to write and release original material.  Fiddler Anna Krippenstapel is half of the duo The Other Years.  Also, here's a vid from opener Jaye Jayle.
