For those that were lucky enough to hear it, Upstate's soundtrack to the independent film 'Missing' mined a rich path of bruised folk, like Simon And Garfunkel transported to a modern and even more cynical time. Wicked Immigrant release music on the same Friendly Psychics imprint and include the work of two of the Upstate members (John Wenzel on vocals and guitar and Chris Jones on bass) with contributions from other participants. As if the original sound wasn't chilling enough, the two protagonists here simplify the formula even further adding further resonance to the dark tales within. Though there may be a sense of Wicked Immigrant sticking rigidly to one formula - as one twisted ballad follows another - they leave stark and haunting memories long after the CD has finished playing.
