CHELSEA CAMPBELL, DERRICK MARTIN, CALI MILENA, HANNA ROSE, KAY SIMS (PSYCHEDLAJAWEA, LA WEED, KNICK KNACK NOOK AND SHOE), and TODD LILJEGREN (MIDNIGHT RAVERS)
The ever-brilliant THOMAS THORSON (INTERIORS COLLECTIVE) just beautifully co-produced and mastered our forthcoming full-length Let's Get It On. Tom also sometimes plays violin and lap-steel with us.
SARA LASKY sometimes plays flute, accordion, and kazoo.
BRENNAN NOVAK plays cello and mandolin on these recordings.
ALEX PARK plays hand-drums on The Ballad of a Hole.
KAY, CALI, and CHELSEA, crucially, made our CD packaging look beautiful.
Influences
Dolly Parton. The Knife. Violent Femmes. Legends of the Fall.
"St. Frankie Lee trudges toward a fiery apocalypse, with Campbell wailing like a possessed June Carter Cash as she trades vocal calls-and-responses with Martin, who comes across like a Southern preacher."
-The Willamette Week
..
"... [T]he chemistry of the leading duo, Chelsea Campbell and Derrick Martin, creates a contagious vocal dynamic that forms a strong backbone to even their most chaotic tune. It is a welcomed constant among a huge array of vibrant audible output. Campbell’s rich, tender vocals soothe while Martin subtly pricks and cracks in complement. At times eerie and dramatic, and sometimes completely dreamy, the resulting hybrid genre is as versatile and widely appealing as its many soundscapes."
-The Daily Vanguard
"... [a] folksy, splintery album of drowsy bluegrass and rough-hewn Americana. Chelsea Campbell and Derrick Martin trade off the singing chores, and their vocal strengths come from the enthusiasm of their delivery rather than anything else."
-The Portland Mercury
"We all of a sudden hear Derrick Martin singing in his most honest way, a seething, frantic high tenor a la Violent Femmes, and Chelsea Campbell belting out a strong melody over lo fi production and horn sections."
-This Heart Will Burn Right Out
