The opening line of the pitch I received for The Two’s forthcoming EP release was enough to pique my interest so allow me to quote that line below,
Imagine a child of the 80s/90s underground scene falling in with a 70s prog, classically-trained cellist. What do ya get? A refreshing and often unexpected sound.
The first thing you notice when listening to The Two’s is how hard it is to pin this dynamic duo down to a specific genre. Is it folk? Is it indie? Is it bluegrass? Is it acoustic? Is it classico-folkgrass-rock?!
Who knows?! And besides, I really do not care how you label them! What I can promise is that The Two’s is a breath of fresh air to your sensory system no matter what style or genre of music you prefer consuming.
Ranging stylistically from rock to roots to bluegrass and classical, Push On intentionally focuses on the interplay between cello and vocals while providing us a rhythmic soundscape founded in guitar and percussion.
Recorded in New Orleans by Adam Keil, the project was mixed by Ben Lorio and Grammy winner Sylvia Massy. Awing audiences with their performances, the duo has opened for familiar names like Heart, Zucchero (international pop star) and Tim Reynolds (from Dave Matthews Band). Their music has also been used in the Emmy award winning show Nip/Tuck.
Just based off the video of The Two’s performing Lullaby, I’m excited about the forthcoming EP. The release is set for July 2019.
