preciousken Lately I have known an obsession, that is yee haw goth. G.W. Childs is legit cowboy who fell in love with Yaz “Upstairs At Eric’s” and created a synthesis of southern family devotion and scorching disco inferno. I love old school country western. Hank Sr. Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline had a blue collar emotional delivery which would one day become punk rock. Favorite track: Tarrant County (Single Version).

rebeccatheartsandcraftsninja G.W. Childs brings this album to us from their heart. First heard on a live stream in which there is normally more darker music spun, but we were all in for a treat. G.W. Childs brought the Gothic crowd to a wicked giddy up that evening, and we are all blessed to have their music in our lives.

mousie808 I've gotta say I've been waiting for this new work from G.W.Childs IV for years now.. It's everything I expected and more! I love the addition of the live instrumentals (more banjo, please!!) and then in the following track it immediately reminds me of legacy GW4 in the beat and synths.. just keep it coming and thank you. :) :) So enjoyable!! Favorite track: Tarrant County (Single Version).

about

When John Fryer send me the first track I was blown away. We both had discussed the direction we expected COP to go for but this was something else entirely. Or was it? 

John always finds the emotional core in a track and brings it to the surface. But he also helped GW rediscover his roots and embrace them at the same time - what a beautiful gift. With his new band everything that has shaped GW is coming together. 

He grew up on a ranch among farmhands and livestock. He joined the Army and they took him all over the globe. His Passion for music brought him to California and gave him the opportunity to work for Lucas Arts as a sound designer. His love for his family brought him back home to Texas.

GW Childs IV "Tarrant County" is the sum of all these experiences. GW Childs IV and COP have been working together for 20 years (GW was half of the storied Dark Wave Band Soil and Eclipse). But I feel that his new band is the first time we see the real person behind the music. It combines his early love for 4AD, the great balladeers of historic country music and his love for catchy melodies.

The Posse:

• G.W. Childs IV (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, Star Wars: Battlefront)
• Legendary producer John Fryer (NIN, Depeche Mode, Love & Rockets, This Mortal Coil)
• Famed game composer Peter McConnell (Psychonauts 2, Sly Cooper, Monkey Island)
• Matt Carter (Guitar) 
• Ed Love (Drums)

Album art designed by Clint G Young(lead artist Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, Star Wars: Racer, Star Wars: Force Unleashed) 

Are you ready to take a ride?
Close your eyes. 
Envision yourself passing a horse trailer on an endless freeway. 
Let the song take you away. 

To a place where a couple of Star Wars veterans gang up with a notorious English producer and tell a tale of love, longing, and family. GW and John created a sparkling, catchy, and upbeat country-pop track. Their pal Peter McConnell added a brilliant Banjo performance which drives the song with an intensity that brings the banjo duel in the movie Deliverance to mind.
