About This Album
This cute Oakland couple plays and sings a bright but punchy acoustic folk-pop that's completely NPR-ready, and should be featured there soon. For their second LP, following 2005's Shine I, they blend in choice hints of Americana, a little bluegrass-country (the world-weary Neil Young harmonica on "Silver Moon" and "Adelaide"), a little rockabilly (the slinky "Junkyard Dog"), a little jazz, and even a little ‘20s blues-gospel (the chain-gang rhythm in the end of "Morning Hymnal"), with a little help again from a few Tom Waits and Bonnie Raitt sidemen on guitar, upright jazzy bass, and tapping drums. Her: darkly romantic, almost husky voice. Him: a lighter tough, a calmer soul. Together: harmonies and quietly poetic souls entwined. How sweetly perky-pretty the product is. ~ Jack Rabid, All Music Guide
