Neo-vaudeville folk outfit Curtis Eller's American Circus will release their new album Another Nice Mess on October 9. The banjo is underappreciated instrument, but Eller has mastered it to great effect on the album's lead single True Love in the Exclusion Zone, offering some punters how to write a good love song while he was at it. Like don't waste your youth on being part of a firing squad. Take note of Steve Cowles' tenor saxophone, who steals the show with an on point short and sweet solo. The video was made by Andy Lyth.
