Marc has The Handsome Family in session. They are old friends of the show but it's their first time in Salford.

We have The Handsome Family, first time in Salford but old friends of the show, in session. Their new album Wilderness explores enigmas of the animal kingdom such as immortal jellyfish, woodpecker tongues and dancing octopi.

The Handsome Family is a 20-year songwriting collaboration between husband and wife, Brett (music) and Rennie Sparks (words). They live in New Mexico and produce wonderful music. Wilderness is their 9th studio album.
