    Thrift Store Cowboys fourth studio album Light-Fighter (out September 7) could be called their post-arson period, as Daniel Fluitt and band wrote the record after a stranger torched their gear and merchandise-filled trailer parked next to Fluitt’s bedroom, nearly taking his life. Produced by Craig Schumacher (Calexico, Neko Case, Iron and Wine), Light-Fighter, while lyrically somewhat dark, is buoyed by experimentally beautiful and uplifting music -- by the band whose sound has often been described as indie-rock, haunted by a gothic spaghetti-western spirit.

    The Lubbock-based sextet, which includes Fluitt, Colt Miller, Clint Miller, Cory Ames, Kris Killingsworth and Amanda Shires on fiddle, have been touring for ten years, sharing stages with DeVotchKa, Lucero, Old 97s and The Flatlanders. Austin Sound characterized their last album, the Schumacher-produced Lay Low While Crawling or Creeping, as “… the album is to country music what Jim Jarmusch’s film Deadman was to the western.”
