LISTEN The Milk Carton Kids' The Ash & Clay
Album stream to March 26, 2013
Tracklist
From the opening seconds of L.A.-based folk duo The Milk Carton Kids' new album, The Ash & Clay, it's obvious the pair deserves a spot tucked into our nostalgia pockets.
Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan have obviously taken cues from the great legions of ‘60s and ‘70s gentle men, like Simon & Garfunkel, who barely sang above a tender tickle, but whose voices rang out with a clarity that shook us to the core.
There's more here than just a walk down memory lane. Throughout the 12 tracks, we meet new friends and journey with them. Sometimes we're carried along, sometimes we're just floating over top as Pattengale and Ryan's voices meld over the dreamy, rambling rifts of the twin acoustic guitars.
Thanks to Anti- Records, you can stream this marvelous tangle of tunes exclusively on CBC Music in Canada until March 26 — a full week before its release.
