Squanderers Announce New Album Bright Madness: Hear “Theme For The Casino At 5 A.M.”
Two years ago, underground OGs David Grubbs and Kramer teamed up with nouveau legend Wendy Eisenberg under the name Squanderers, playing sparse, searching improvisational guitar-bass music with no further accompaniment.
