The first installment in a multi-album set describing The Kinnery of Lupercalia, Petr & The Wulf is the correct telling of a story about which most have been woefully misinformed. This truth is courtesy of Munly (known as both a solo artist and as the co-frontman of Slim Cessna’s Auto Club) and his extremely talented backing band, The Lupercalians (which includes Daniel Granbois of Slim Cessna’s Auto Club and Tarantella). Often described as thinkin’ man’s country music, Munly has a wide vocal range which, on top of the Lupercalians’ dark, often sensuous string arrangements, makes for a unique, spare sound that remains long after the music stops. As with his previous Alternative Tentacles release, Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots, this goth-twang-country masterpiece was recorded and mixed by Bob Ferbrache (Blood Axis, Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, Tarantella) at Absinthe Studios in Denver, Colorado. The record begins with Petr, “the last of the Northrops,” who tells how he will bring his people back to greatness by rescuing Grandfater from the Bedlam. The Three Wise Hunters let all know that they can be hired to rid the land of whatever menace is present. The Wulf tells of his love for the Northrops despite their continued refusal of his offerings. Munly writes, “Hopefully you will accept the current Lupercalians offering with open heart and understanding mind.”
