With the release of his second Dark American album, " Mojave" Stuart Pearson expands on his tuneful western gothic, folk and pop flavored songs, blending genres to achieve a familiar, yet offbeat sound.

​

There are hints of Tom Waits, Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen thrown in a bucket with ghosts of the 1800's. The album features murder ballads: songs of bad decisions, dangerous people and the inevitable consequences. It has been called "dark, disturbing and a lot of fun."

​

The first single, “You Don't See Me (Jimmy Crack Corn)" grabs you with its infectious, rustic alt-pop groove, and eerie vocal approach.

​

Pearson explains; "'You Don't See Me' is based on the macabre lyrics of the old American folk song 'Jimmy Crack Corn.' I wanted this version to sound like it was being whispered over the payphone at a crumbling motel in the Mojave Desert. It's a dance track for vampires on Seroquel." 

"As far as the dark americana / western goth stuff, I have always had a fascination with death and that portal we all cross through. I drowned when I was 15 - the whole heart stopping, leaving-the-body thing. I was gone for several minutes. Ever since then I have wanted to investigate that thin membrane that separates us from grandma and Elvis. Dark Americana tickles that chin with long, sharp fingernails."  

Pearson has been making a name for himself in the Dark Americana scene, after spending more than a decade exploring different genres, from art rock/ punk albums to concept pieces that recreate the sound of radio broadcasts from the '60's and '80's.

​

“Mojave” and “Stories and Songs” are available on all major streaming outlets. Pearson is currently working on new material and videos for his next Dark Americana album.
