Ltd. to 1000 copies 2026 reissue, Oxblood Red Vinyl, handnumbered, LP) originally released in 2000. With the limited Oxblood Red Vinyl Edition, 16 Horsepower's early classics return in particularly striking form.

*Secret South* showcases the band at their darkest and most expansive: a feverish blend of Gothic Americana, folk, country influences and an occult, shimmering melancholy. Bandoneon, banjo, hurdy-gurdy and ethereal vocals create a sound that seems far removed from modernity yet remains timeless - archaic, intense and utterly captivating. As the tracks oscillate between ascetic austerity and opulent expansiveness, the full emotional force of an album that still enjoys cult status today unfolds. To coincide with this reissue, 16 Horsepower are celebrating their 2026 reunion tour with the original line_up, an event that is selling out venues across Europe. An essential release for collectors of Gothic Americana, folk and alternative music.
