"Dark" Americana, a la Earth

Recommend me some dark, slow Americana-type stuff, a la more recent Earth, some Nick Cave, King Dude, some Do Make Say Think. Vocals are fine, but really looking for some slow, twangy jams. What you got? I've been on a huge Earth kick recently and need something new!

Does you only want electric music or is acoustic OK too?

Dead Man OST and Morricone stuff definitely fits!
And you guys should check this out:

Also, not like Earth at all, but Murder By Death and O Death are both good choices. Both dark Americana but not really heavy.

goddamn how many of these fucking bands are going to make records about that book?!
This still rules though. Anyway I can't link youtubes really but Barn Owl come close and so does that first Souvenirs Young America record.

Well, who knows where this fits in the dark "Americana" spectrum?

The Red Dead Redemption soundtrack has a lot of gems.
Butcher Boy does this sort of stuff really well, too, although they jump around a bit stylistically:
