August expands Scree from a trio into a lush, arranged big-band sound that blends elegant Ellington-like suites, post-rock meticulousness, and slowed-down Western swing.
"When I first heard Asleep at the Wheel and their Bob Wills tribute, it blew my mind that there was a band out there still playing this kind of music," Hedley says, adding, "At its core Western Swing is just dance music. Bob Wills didn't play theatres; he played dance halls. The music is for dancing, and that's what I wanted to come through on these songs."
