Mustangs of the West is a Californian all-girl band formed in Santa Monica in the 1980s. Revived in 2017, the alt-folk and country music group keep the retro spirits of the genre alive. Their tracks unfailingly emulate the sincerity and authenticity of artists like The Eagles, early Beach Boys, Emmylou Harris, and Stevie Nicks. In their latest album, Sea of Heartbreak, Mustangs of the West explore the warm and oozing melancholy of a grieving heart. Affected by a fresh sonic nostalgia, they deliver folklore by the pocketful and we can’t help but sigh and yearn for the wondrous beauty in heartache. Listen Now!
The band sets up intricate and insightful acoustic frameworks. Their expressive quotients weave in with the heartfelt vocals to create enchanting tales of heartbreak. Profoundly delicate and vividly mournful. Poetic storytelling and bluesy vocal arcs remind the listener of a softened Janis Joplin, and a countrified Amy Winehouse. The songs are dressed in accents of mystique and highland folk romance that soften and mold the compositions to be more colorful and memorable.
The album is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
