Description:
The self-released debut from this Brooklyn duo is gorgeous and mesmerizing. The sublime performance from Megan Hickey, the primary focus here, presents a sultry display of reverberant lap-steel guitar supporting her lilting and breathy voice. Accompanying her throughout, on acoustic guitar, is Nat Guy, also the co-writer on 4 of the 9 tracks. And with the exception of some very light upright bass and organ on a few tracks, this is the band. Beautiful and rich with emotion, you can file Last Town Chorus amidst your Hem and Amy Allison CDs.
