Hailing from Portland, Oregon, The Builders and the Butchers made an immediate impression with their self-titled debut, released in 2007 on Jealous Butcher Records. The album introduced the world to a band steeped in lo-fi alt-country grit, drawing comparisons to fellow Portland acts while carving out a distinctly raw and fatalistic sound of their own.
The Builders and the Butchers is built around the wide-open bellow of singer Ryan Sollee, whose gift for vivid, haunting imagery gives the music a storytelling depth rooted in Americana tradition. The band's urgent, scuffed-up energy and dark lyrical themes — evoking death, labor, and the weight of life — set them apart from their folk and alt-country peers and made this debut a striking opening statement.
