Pull the Brake contains 15 tracks and was recorded at Haunted Hollow Studio (Charlottesville, Virginia) with producer Chris Kress and engineer Rob Evans. The album features special guests Bonnie "Prince" Billy (Will Oldham, Palace et al), Brian Jones (Agents of Good Roots), Anne Marie Calhoun-Simpson (Old School Freight Train), Rob Evans (Watts Passage), Matt Pierson, and Bo Vaughan. Comprised of Andy Stepanian (vocal, guitar, mandolin), Mason Brent (vocal, guitar, mandolin, pedal steel), Brian Gregory (vocal, bass), Stuart Gunter (drums) and Chase Heard (vocal, guitar, banjo), Wrinkle Neck Mules combines bluegrass elements with classic country blue-collar and hardworking bucolic sentiments to create an Americana-styled five-piece. While Stepanian sings a majority of the tracks on Pull the Brake, all of the members take a turn at the microphone singing lead and back-up, making Pull the Brake a collected sundry of timeless songs, “threaded with some haunting moments and spirited Southern rock harmonies”, says Miles of Music.
