Long Gone Lonesomes alt-country music logo cross.

Long Gone Lonesomes are composed of Hylo Graves & Buddy Wackett. Together they make Occultry and Western music out of Parson, British Columbia, Canada.


A local to the area, Hylo writes heart-wrenching hymns that cut deep. Painting a bent landscape of bleakness and unsettling fears, while Buddy accompanies the menacing lyrics with lush twang & highly thought out arrangements & instrumentation.


In short,

this music has no business
being as good as it is,
as it is up to no good.

Hylo and Buddys' first foray into collaboration. 13 strange compositions that fall under the "country" umbrella, yet remain on their own dusty lane. Hylo's frantic and menacing vocals and songwriting create a striking balance to Buddy's lush and haunted twang. Featuring cover art from the multitalented Mark "Boots" Graham.

Being the song that set the tone for Long Gone Lonesomes on their debut full length "Tall Tales" and a project as a whole, It makes sense that the song be forever imprinted on 7" vinyl with incredible cover art by Janeen Scott. The B side is a kitchen table jam sounding heartbreaker, about the usual misgivings in life.
