THE WALKING HELLOS are four Brooklyn musicians (Myla Goldberg, best-selling author of Bee Season, Rose Thomson, Babe the Blue Ox, M Shanghai String Band; Val Opielski, x-Krakatoa, and Heather Wagner, Peng, x-Morex Optimo, x-Renminbi) with eight instruments between them and a taste for mixing things up. A swirling vortex of guitar loops, plucky banjo, sweet vocals with a short temper and an accordion with a private dreamlife combine with vibrant bass, driving drums, and hip-shaking baritone guitar to create a raucous blend of gorgeous, brainy music. An unpredictable and delectable fusion of the thoughtful, the pretty, and the pounding.
