The band would later revolve around Rennie, who writes the lyrics, and Brett, who writes the music. Guest musicians complete the band line-up for recordings and live work.<br \/>\nRegarding the band name, Brett said in an interview: &#8220;It&#8217;s just kind of a stupid name. We used to have this really obnoxious drummer, and he used to call me &#8216;Handsome&#8217;, that was his nickname for me, I think for sarcastic reasons&#8230; And he wanted to call it the Handsome Family&#8230;and we thought it was funny, too. We thought it was a good name.&#8221;<br \/>\nBrett is originally from Odessa, Texas and Rennie from Long Island. The band toured extensively throughout both America and Europe in support of early releases Odessa (1994) and Milk and Scissors (1996). During that time, Brett suffered an emotional breakdown, resulting in his hospitalization and diagnosis of bipolar disorder.<br \/>\nTheir third full-length album, Through the Trees, was written in the aftermath of these events, and included a song inspired by Brett&#8217;s experiences in the psychiatric unit. The album was recorded in 1998, using Jeff Tweedy&#8217;s mobile studio, and brought the band to a wider audience. It was named the &#8220;Best New Country Album of the Year&#8221; by UNCUT.<br \/>\nA growing following and raised profile allowed Brett and Rennie to give up their day jobs and work on the band full-time. They toured America and Europe again in support of the 2000 album In the Air. In 2001, they moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and released Twilight, with Allmusic opining that the album leads &#8220;the listener down a lovely yet dark trail few would dare tread twice&#8221;. In 2002, they released a live album, Live at Schuba&#8217;s Tavern, a recording from the In the Air tour from Chicago in December 2000. They have subsequently released the albums Singing Bones (2003), and Last Days of Wonder (2006) as well as the collections Smothered and Covered (2003) and Scattered (2010).<br \/>\nThe band&#8217;s latest studio album, Honey Moon, was released in April 2009. A new album, Wilderness, was released in May 2013.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discography<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Albums<br \/>\nOdessa (1994) Carrot Top Records<br \/>\nMilk and Scissors (1996) Carrot Top Records<br \/>\nInvisible Hands (1997) Carrot Top Records\/Scout (Vinyl only EP release)<br \/>\nThrough the Trees (1998) Carrot Top Records \/ Loose Music<br \/>\nIn the Air (2000) Carrot Top Records \/ Loose Music<br \/>\nTwilight (2001) Carrot Top Records \/ Loose Music<br \/>\nSinging Bones (2003) Carrot Top Records \/ Loose Music<br \/>\nLast Days of Wonder (2006) Carrot Top Records \/ Loose Music<br \/>\nHoney Moon (2009) Carrot Top Records \/ Loose Music<br \/>\nWilderness (2013) Carrot Top Records \/ Loose Music<\/p>\n<p>Compilations and Live albums<br \/>\nDown in the Valley (1999) Independent Records (Ireland only release)<br \/>\nLive at Schuba&#8217;s Tavern (2002) Digital Club Network<br \/>\nSmothered and Covered (2002) Handsome Family Music<br \/>\nScattered (2010) Handsome Family Music<\/p>\n<p><strong>Singles<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;My Beautiful Bride&#8221; (1999) Magwheel<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Handsome Family &#8211; Far From Any Road HD (Singing Bones &#8211; 2003) was the opening song and soundtrack of first season of True Detective. &nbsp; The Handsome Family &#8211; Far From Any Road HD (Singing Bones &#8211; 2003) Lyrics From the dusty mesa, her looming shadow grows Hidden in the branches of the poison [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[96,95,93,94,92,91,97,57],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p90hsv-3H","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":334,"url":"https:\/\/www.danieledavi.com\/blog\/2017\/08\/demolition-soundtrack\/","url_meta":{"origin":229,"position":0},"title":"Demolition soundtrack","author":"Daniele Dav\u00ec","date":"August 16, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"The soundtrack I'm going to suggest you today is taken from \"Demolition\" a remarkable movie with Jake Gyllenhaal, Naomi Watts, Chris Cooper. 1 Touch Me I\u2019m Going to Scream, Pt. 2 \u2013 My Morning Jacket 8:15 2 To Be Alone With You \u2013 Sufjan Stevens 2:46 3 Crazy On You\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Media&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Media","link":"https:\/\/www.danieledavi.com\/blog\/category\/media\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":218,"url":"https:\/\/www.danieledavi.com\/blog\/2017\/06\/best-relaxing-piano-studio-ghibli-complete-collection-2016\/","url_meta":{"origin":229,"position":1},"title":"Best Relaxing Piano Studio Ghibli Complete Collection 2016","author":"Daniele Dav\u00ec","date":"June 10, 2017","format":"video","excerpt":"","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Movies&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Movies","link":"https:\/\/www.danieledavi.com\/blog\/category\/movies\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":767,"url":"https:\/\/www.danieledavi.com\/blog\/2021\/03\/protect-your-work-from-home-space-from-toxicity\/","url_meta":{"origin":229,"position":2},"title":"Protect your work from home space from toxicity","author":"Daniele Dav\u00ec","date":"March 7, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"A year ago, many countries took the first measures to tackle the emerging pandemic due to COVID-19.
