PICTURE THAT - Strum LP
Highly recommended.
On the great new label who brought us Soup Activists and Tia Rosa. Glow In The Dark Flowers are pretty damn awesome too...
"Recorded masterfully with Philip J. Lesicko (Glow in the Dark Flowers, The Funs), Strum showcases the Durham twins’ singing, lyrical talents, and multi-instrumental prowess. A whole world emerges with opener “Undercover Letters.” It evokes more than just a rock band, topped with a transfixing vocal melody that sets the stage for the record ahead. “Try” has the heart and soul of an independent-rock classic while feeling like a totally new transmission. Shawn and Allison conjure the sublime with Strum, using the palette of guitar-driven post-punk, a touch of C86 style, and a poetic thoughtfulness. The songs stretch wide, reflecting on growing up, dreaming big, and the charms of the mundane. As Picture That, the Durham twins summon the deep and intangible expressions only a psychic connection allows. Strum invites all of us in to explore."—Reese Higgins
