Nick Dittmeier Dittmeier & The Sawdusters – Apparition [Indie Exclusive] [Colored Vinyl]

Hailing from, and proudly remaining in, the river town of Jeffersonville, Indiana, singer-songwriter and guitar virtuoso Nick Dittmeier has spent more than a decade chronicling Midwestern lives through a sharp, evolving blend of roots music. Backed by the Sawdusters-Shelley Anderson on bass and Chase Palmer on drums-the trio has built it’s reputation through relentless touring across the U.S. and Europe and a steady run of records grounded in narrative songwriting and grit.Their latest album, Apparition, pivots toward a more direct, visceral sound. Recorded in Louisville, the record opens with the kinetic instrumental “Reckless” before diving into propulsive alt-country on “Revenge,” a gospel-tinged meditation on temptation and consequence. Elsewhere, “All Downhill From Here” blends Midwestern twang with New Orleans funk, while the eerie “Scratching at Your Back Door” leans into the tension between classic murder ballads and modern true-crime obsessio
