The name, evocative of the south and its sleepy, resilient nature inspires a soulful persistence in the band’s original songs that blend all American musics. What started as a duo on an errant path to a dream, these Georgia based, genre defying darlings aren’t afraid to carve out a space all their own. Dave Kirslis’ tone rich guitar picking and grounded, upbeat songwriting deftly contrasts Andrea DeMarcus’ moody bowed upright bass swells and insightful lyrics. Dave’s voice, warm and youthful, Andrea’s bright and sweet, combine effortlessly in intimate harmonies that make you feel as if you’re sharing a tender stolen moment. Two records and a decade on the road has given them the wisdom and patience to know there’s a power and a presence in taking it slow, and an eagerness and respect for every day the dream lives on. Now on the precipice of their long awaited release, Magic State, The band delivers their third album which they persistently captured in the the old farmhouse home of their engineer and drummer, Colin Agnew. The spirit of this record carries many influences, from folk, R&B to jazz yet still honors, the groups, unique songwriting in intimacy.
