2019 180gm Pressing. "Since Releasing Its Self-titled Debut Album In 2008, The Charleston, S.C.-Bred Act Has Captivated Fans With A No-frills Take On Punk-influenced Roots Music And Joyful, Revelatory Live Performances. While The Pair's Sound Has Evolved Considerably Since Then, The Through-line Has Always Been Trent And Cary Ann Hearst's Artistic Intimacy, Which Finds Them Switching Instruments Mid-set (Or Mid-song, Even), Masterfully Anticipating The Other's Vocal Harmonies And Consistently Drawing Out The Best In Each Other Both In The Studio And On The Stage." Brittney Mckenna,NPR. It's Hard To Find A Bad Review On This Album.
