Our Take

Imagining the pair of Allison De Groot and Tatiana Hargreaves sitting down to make music together feels like stumbling upon an unexpectedly delightful collaboration at a particularly zany house party. Both acclaimed banjo players in their own right, they come together on their self-titled album to showcase their individual talents while also seamlessly blending them into a soul-stirring mix of folk and bluegrass.

From the moment the plucky banjo strings kick in on the opening track, it's clear that this duo means business. De Groot's deft fingerpicking skills dance effortlessly alongside Hargreaves' sweet, melodious fiddle playing, creating a dynamic sound that is both comforting and invigorating.

Tracks like "Rosa Lee Mcfall" and "Dry" showcase their impressive technical abilities, while others like "Crack of Noon" and "Ways of the World" delve into more sombre, introspective territory. Each song feels like a little nugget of musical magic, crafted with care and precision.

But where this album truly shines is in its ability to transport you to another time and place. Close your eyes, and you could easily find yourself swaying on a porch swing in the Appalachian mountains, the warm breeze carrying the sounds of De Groot and Hargreaves' music through the air.

In short, Allison De Groot & Tatiana Hargreaves have created a masterpiece of modern folk music that is sure to delight fans of the genre and beyond. So grab your banjo, pour yourself a cup of moonshine, and let yourself be whisked away on a musical journey unlike any other.
