n.m.w. 2 ... the civil wars

ARTIST
the civil wars
ALBUM

barton hallow

this music completely blew me away. it's a southern, male female, call in response, gospel-ish, pull on your heart strings sort of band... if that makes any sense. 


every new song/video i come across absolutely captivates me. with such a simple broken down setup to the music, i can easily skip past how technically wonderful their song writing and harmonies are. specifically, in the song "poison & wine", just before the two minute mark, as joy williams sings the verse melody, john paul white sneaks in with a harmony that i image most wouldn't pick up on let alone be able to write and perform.


every vocal melody is created with such intent but delivered in such a way, that you would never notice.


go buy this and a bottle of wine... press play, sip and enjoy.
