Munly & the Lupercalians

Jay Munly is a pioneer of what came to be called, after his hometown, the Denver Sound – a subgenre of alternative country that mixes the music with a dark atmosphere and southern Gothic-inspired lyrics. Originally the frontman of Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Munly embarked on a sizeable solo career and in 2007 founded the Lupercalians, a sort of Situationist art project based around the strange fictional town of Lupercalia; on stage, he's backed by musicians that supposedly hail from it. The outfit debuted in 2010 with Petr and the Wulf, a retelling of the Prokofiev composition, which was described by the Taipei Times as having a "deranged, circus-like feel" to it; their second album, Undelivered Legion (2022), is supposed to be the first in a multi-album epic titled The Kinnery of Lupercalia.
