Production details
Brett, who writes the music, draws from medieval melody, country string arrangements, tin-pan alley crooners, and dusty hillbilly records to weave together folk songs that sound at once ancient and brand new. Rennie, who writes the lyrics, makes magical realism from her own time spent (like most people) riding up elevators, staring out hotel room windows, and driving interstate highways. Together they create something totally original and utterly compelling.
