Till the Sea Disappears .. .. Inspired by but not tethered to the acoustic folk music of their New England region, Fiske and Herrera bravely blend traditional sounds such as dulcimer, mandolin, and reed organ with instruments not often found in the acoustic genre, for instance, vibraphone, analog synthesizers, and even hip hop drum samples. Yet these disparate elements are not jarringly experimental or a forced stab at hipness, but a beautiful blending of sound that perfectly supports and envelops their gorgeous voices—the natural outcome of twenty-somethings equally influenced by Radiohead’s Kid A and Joni Mitchell’s Blue. .. .. Jared Fiske and Amy Herrera have been writing and recording together since 2006.
Gideon Brown sounds like an approaching train at midnight clanking on the rails and howling its vibration into the dead air. It is at times reminiscent of the rockabilly music of the late '50s as well as the folk/rock of the late '60s.
