Bad Self Portraits

Second full-length from Brooklyn-based quartet of two men, two women. There’s lots of stuff going on here: soulful, country / alt-country, rockin’. Lead singer Rachael Price has a fantastic sultry, sexy, powerful voice. Top-notch musicians all, with instrumentation of gtr, bass, drums, keys, horns. Some great moments here. Play With: He’s My Brother, She’s My Sister, Sallie Ford And The Sound Outside. No FCC’s.
