Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Richmond, Virginia duo generates a remarkably massive sound using only acoustic guitar, drums, and impassioned vocals. Rooted in Southern gothic storytelling, 'Tantilla' strips college rock down to its barest, most rhythmic elements, creating an intensely driving and literate slice of Americana.

Genres

Descriptors: guitar-driven, percussive, storytelling, sinister, death
