Festival w/ Sharon Van Etton
Festival features a pair of Brooklyn / Chicago - based sisters Lindsay and Alexis Powell on vocals, joined by their brother Michael. Their debut album, Come, Arrow, Come! is an engrossing mixture of haunting harmonies over sparse instrumentation, including drums, bells, and zithers.
"In the truest sense of tradition, Lindsay and Alexis pick the low-hanging fruit of acoustic instrumentation as a means to communicate the poetic imagination of a balladic history through their voices." - Mike Orm, Pitchfork Media
"Festival brews up a brief but potent shot of what I'm not sure we should call folk music any more […] Come, Arrow, Come! is instead one of the best, tightest currently extant collections of mystically inclined, occasionally abstract acoustic psychedelia out there" - Ian Mathers, Pop Matters
