Album Review
This album is a live recording that shows how well these stripped down tracks can come across in front of an audience. Relying mostly on songs from Philophobia, the duo (with fine vocal help from Adele Bethel) create sparse, moving, even lively music that benefits from being void of post-production assistance. "Girls Of Summer" is the highlight.
