The Hold Steady

I've been listening to Seperation Sunday, the latest album by The Hold Steady. It's a concept album that tells the story of Holly (Halleluia) a woman who is into drugs, gets baptized, has religious visions, and has to figure out how she navigates between an old life and what could be a new life. My current favorite track is Cattle and the Creeping Things which is a funny and inventive way to look at the Bible, particularly in how the Genesis and Exodus stories are connected to current lives of the characters.
