Channelling Simon & Garfunkel with hints of Gillian Welch, the pair are so straight faced yet upbeat I can't help but think of Christopher Guest's folk music satire documentary A Mighty Wind. This is the real thing and what it lacks in originality it makes up for in genuinity with it's pitch perfect harmonies, gently strummed guitars and confidence in their timeless songwriting. The lovely simplicity of the songs is their greatest strength and perfect for that last glass of wine & cigarette of the night.
