Texas supergroup the Panhandlers offer wide open spaces for a suffocating time on their self-titled debut
“I pretty much stood on a table and said, ‘We can’t make this record without doing this song. It literally is the Panhandlers and if we don’t do it, we’re robbing this album of a great song just because we didn’t write it,'” Abbott says. The group premiered a music video for the track on Friday, one of a handful of songs on the LP that features each singer taking his own verse.
Green wrote “Lonesome Heart” with Cordero and Baumann during one inebriated night on their Marfa vision quest. “We were sitting out looking up at the stars, and Cleto and John were just fucking giggling and pissing me off because they wouldn’t stop. I started humming the song and John finally stops giggling and goes, ‘What is that? It’s really good; let’s write that,'” Green says.
“The verse about all bandmates was really fun to write,” Abbott says. “It was a cool summary of each one of them and it’s pretty accurate.” “The way we operate traditionally and the businesses that we’ve all built will be easier to get going than the national mainstream artists. Because, for instance, we’re used to playing honky-tonks and bars. That’s how we do our thing,” he says.
