Their seventh CD, Last Days of Wonder (June. 2006) was one of Mojo's top ten American Albums for 2006 and called 'an unqualified triumph' by Uncut. Of their sixth CD, Singing Bones, The UK's Independent wrote, 'Rarely, even in the fatalistic world of country music, has the precarious mystery of mortality been captured with such poetic grace as on Singing Bones.' They have appeared in the movie, I'm Your Man (2005), a tribute to Leonard Cohen as well as Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus (2004). In 2004, a reader's poll in Mojo named The Handsome Family's third CD, Through the Trees one of the ten essential Americana records.
