DESCRIPTION:
*I do not own the song, and am uploading it only to display an example of this band's sound for no profit. Perhaps it will even create new fans for the artist*
This is the first of three albums for this currently active band composed of husband and wife duo that live in a (now electrically converted) cabin in the VT woods with two kids. They received a Creation Grant from the Vermont Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. Robin’s grandmother was also an artist, releasing 9 folk albums, and collecting many more via reel to reel live recordings, some of which have appeared on later albums. This album was recorded in a barn. Three-Fourths of this record has sparse, minimal construction, leaving lots of moment for reflection.
“Leather Boots” feels more like a mellow Thrills song, with a more lively melody (relatively speaking) played by the guitars and percussive tempo. There is a little bit of Shins melody in this song. And after the first section of the song runs through, it almost rocks out. But it retreats back to the thin vocal styling.
