First full length. Nifty Retro album. A single released Oct. 2012, Wanna Fall In Love sounded more like a try at synth-pop.

Jack and Julia Hines: Male/Female Singing Duo, Drums, Bass, Pedal Steel,keyboard and musical saw.

They each sing solo, and accompany each other on different tracks.

Mood is brooding and lyrics dark. Only a few major chords are to be heard.

Hushed quality, not a jam, not show offs, this is cool and understated,occasionally strangely danceable music.

Featured is a downbeat instrumental tune, surprisingly I think, because great instrumental
prowess is not apparent in these recordings.

A few performances held down to minimal acoustic strumming.

Nothing too long, and 2, 8, and 12 are less than two minutes.

Track twelve has about a minute of blank space/noise at the end.
