2008's The Beauty in the Ruin explores sadness and
frustration, which after 8 years of the starving artist's life Abi had
plenty of, but there is a common thread of hope, redemption and joy in
all of these supposedly sad songs. It is full of sing-able hooks and
straddles country, folk and rock with ease, incorporating fiddle and
pedal steel as well as some crunchy electric guitars and big drums. Abi
and Chris got along so well that Gage and his wife and partner
Christine Albert (together known as the Americana duo Albert and Gage)
collaborated with Abi to release The Beauty in the Ruin on
their label, MoonHouse Records. Happily, Abi is packing up and heading
out across the country with her wanderlusty music in hand.
With a new album to promote, a strong community of friends and fellow
artists in Austin, the energy of and support of her partnership with
MoonHouse Records and the ability to find the bright side in any
situation, how could Abi not be smiling? But she won't stop moving,
because there could always be something even better just over the
horizon.

Adam Carroll possesses a sense for detailed narratives, direct unaffected poetics. Balancing ballads of touching depth with odes to rounders, Carroll continually surprises with his delicate turns of phrase.
|
A sweet, sensual and surprising album from start to finish Austin's Aimee Bobruk takes every opportunity to defy convention.

Corry's latest offering finds him at his strongest- artistically, personally and spiritually. His rustic sound remains part singer/songwriter: poetic and acoustic at times. But it’s equal parts country rock: accessible, hooky and rowdy in the tradition of outlaws like the Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.

The album as a whole is a collection of songs interwoven together around the question: "What is the value of our work? And what the hell is 'wealth' exactly?"
|
Most of the songs on the album had been orphaned at some point in their lifetimes.

"When I started making this album -- I looked at the pile of songs I had to pick through -- especially the more recent tracks -- and it looked to me like this was gonna be a fairly political album. Which, in a sense, is true of the way things turned out.
|
The thing to me that these songs share is . . . well, they share two things, actually:
1) They're written metaphorically and symbolically and in allegory and in parable...
2) They deal with deep-down-in-your-marrow sort of primal themes...
