Boise’s Hillfolk Noir recorded the foundation of their new album Diggin’ Songs live in a generous friend’s tiny North End house. With their amps in closets, drums next to the woodstove, singers in bathrooms, and microphones in every unoccupied corner, the four piece band breathed life into the songs and the characters that meander through them. The production continued in an even tinier garden shack, complete with egg crate soundproofing and a large spider population. With the dark theme of “Digging,” these recordings wander out of the sage covered hills through beatnik juke joints, Appalachian swamp shacks, and psychedelic deltas. Exhausted and proud of the finished product, Hillfolk Noir humbly invites you to come into the fog and let your eyes roll back.
Me and my gal saw you guys playing at Pengilly's last night. We were outside and I was struming along to some really killer blues you guys played. We should do some gigs together. I'm living in Boise right now and I'm trying to find work but I would really dig doing some gigs with you fellows after I get all moved in.
Nice sounds guys! I might just be hooked: hope to see you guys live one of these days. We're coming through Idaho in mid-May and looking for good places to play. Any ideas you're willing to share with a bunch of Helenans?

just dropping by to say hi and thanks for letting us play with you guys--and for playing/singing with us on the last song at Neurolux--it was...AWESOME! Much love to you all, and hope to see you again very soon. xxx
our friend Matt says he heard KLCC radio in Eugene Oregon playing your music today...that's pretty cool. maybe it's time to come back to this part of the country?
