Leslie Graves and Toby Goodshank

Das sagt der/die Künstler:in:

Toby Goodshank (The Moldy Peaches, The Pizza Underground) of the OG New York Antifolk scene, is known for his precise and acrobatic vocals over nuanced acoustic guitar in songs that have been described as “a zesty thumb of the nose at domesticated bullshit.” (Myles Manley)

Leslie Graves (GOLD, Endless Arrows) is a performing songwriter and recording artist who takes folk subgenres into evocative and intriguing directions, including “sounding like something you could hear Donna Hayward dancing to at the Bang Bang Bar.” (Ronan Conroy, “Hidden In the Days” album review)  Her voice has been described as “darkwave-meets-folk” with comparisons to Lana Del Rey, Cat Powers, Mazzy Star and Julee Cruise.

Together with engineer and producer Jake Nicoll of The Burning Hell, Toby and Leslie wrote and recorded “Between Worlds” in a way that was more “like chiseling away at a stone to reveal the sculpture underneath,” describes Graves. “I like when songs come like that - when it feels that they are teaching us as they are revealed."
