“The track is perhaps most defined by the mournful and intricate violin riffs, flawlessly executed mandolin playing, ever-thumping upright bass, and hauntingly beautiful layers of harmonies. The song moves and grows without ever overreaching, and it builds the instrumentation right alongside the story being told. This is a truly quintessential modern folk song that never misses a note.” -The Ark of Music

We just submitted “Embers” for the NPR Tiny Desk Contest 2020. As you’ll see, it’s not a typical video, nor is it about a typical topic.
We wrote this song about the California wildfires in the fall of 2019 and the resulting smoke and power outages that blanketed much of the state. "Embers" is our attempt to grapple with the strange realities - N95 masks, shuttered windows, evacuation zones - that those fires made commonplace almost overnight. Little did we know that life during the coronavirus pandemic would have such bizarre similarities to wildfire season.
Recorded live in our own backyard this spring, here is our video for “Feeling Again,” filmed by our dear friend Michael Cuffe - thank you a million times over for your keen eye, steady hand, and deep well of patience!
While many of our songs are about love or nature, this one draws its inspiration from a different place. “Feeling Again” was written as a reminder to pause and take a breathe amid the hustle, to see past the day-to-day hurry and…
“I like the plaintive, spacious sound on this new track and clip from old time/bluegrass San Francisco-based band Late For The Train. They draw this song out into a beautiful meditation on emotion and the colour blue. It’s bound together with the wonderful vocal interplay and fine fiddle playing from Laura Benson, especially at the 2.5 minute mark.” -Post to Wire
