'The dissonance and minor chords here are especially intriguing and slightly unsettling too.'

Thanks @Atkins_Sam for a charming review of our #NewAlbum for @PickyBastards

[Sam Atkins @Atkins_Sam]

Reviewed an unexpected gem of an album today. A mixture of traditional folk/jazz/lo-fi that ends up unlike anything I’ve ever heard.

[KLOF Mag @klofmag]

We chat to @KitchmanSchmidt about their new collaborative album 'As Long As Songbirds Sing’. Plus, watch them performing ‘Lowlands’, an outstanding first album single, inspired by one of folk music’s most enigmatic figures, Anne Briggs. https://t.co/qGgQz4MEk3

'In the early summer of 1933 an old man named Hugh Stallcup, who lived near Murphy, N.C. sang me a garbled little love-song he called "The Ash from the Hill Country".'
JJ Niles borrowed two oh his lines for his tune 'The Lass From The Low Country'.
