LITTLE AMBER BOTTLES
Out February; Loose Records

Uniting glamour, gloom and well-turned-out goth-ery, Dan and Tracee Miller stand imposingly at the helm of Blanche, Detroit's finest purveyors of dark-and-twisted timewarp Americana. Since they soared out of the city's garage-punk rubble in 2004, they've played with country queen Loretta Lynn, celebrated their 10-year wedding anniversary, Dan has delivered an impressive turn as guitarist Luther Perkins in the Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line, and now they're about to unleash their fabulous sophomore album, Little Amber Bottles, on the world. So are they happy now? Are they bollocks.

*Is the darkness in your music a reflection of the darkness in your life?

Dan: When Tracee and I first got married, everything was nice and fairly stable.
