Hypothermic, Goodnight, Texas

Released October 1, 2020
Written by Avi Vinocur and Patrick Dyer Wolf
Vocals, Guitars, Mandolin, Drums: Avi Vinocur
Banjo, Backing Vocals: Patrick Dyer Wolf
Bass: Scott Griffin Padden
Recorded by Goodnight, Texas
Mixed by Scott McDowell
Mastered by Jonathan Kirchner

Goodnight, Texas is the garage roots Appalachian collaboration of San Francisco’s Avi Vinocur (formerly of The Stone Foxes) and North Carolina’s Patrick Dyer Wolf. The band conjures a feeling of a different heavy era in the United States – part 1930s, and part 1860s. The trick: heaviness comes from organic acoustic instruments. In this case, a banjo, acoustic guitar and a 1918 mandolin.
“Hypothermic” is the result – our attempt to tell stories of America’s furthest corner, under a darker headlight, and attempting to sonically capture the heaviness of not only America’s past, but its present.” -Avi Vinocur More >
