PREMIERE: Dan Sartain - Atheist Funeral

Musically, "Atheist Funeral" is as heretical and dirge-y as any song titled "Atheist Funeral" should be, but Dan Sartain's emaciated nerdboy/Lux Interior-ish howl makes it sound even creepier, which is welcomely affecting. The Alabama bandleader unloads Dan Sartain Lives, his next vampiric rockabilly opus, on July 20 through One Little Indian, right around the time he hits the road with, perfectly enough, Social Distortion. (Those dates and others are up on his MySpace). Which reminds us: Time to re-up on pomade.
