It’s as if the group extends the listener an invitation to pour a glass of whiskey and settle in to appreciate the fine intricacies of pedal steel and guitar atop “a tight rhythm section” with Overbo’s baritone growl and Francis’ pure tones. Together they are rough hands with a soft touch. The contrast in each singer’s verse preps the listener for a payoff of harmonies in the chorus. There’s a refreshing ease to their performance that is no accident. Francis notes, “We feel more free and confident, and have less attachment to any sort of expectations or outcome now. The most important thing for us is being present in each performance.”
