Our Take

In a world of manufactured pop and cookie-cutter chart-toppers, the duo Christina Smith and Jean Hewson bring a refreshing blast of authenticity with their latest album, "August Gale." Packed with soulful melodies, haunting harmonies, and cleverly crafted lyrics, this record is a reminder of the power of stripped-down, organic music.

From the first track, "Whiskey in My Coffee," it's clear that Smith and Hewson are a force to be reckoned with. Their voices blend together seamlessly, creating a sound that is both ethereal and earthy. The haunting guitar riffs and pulsating rhythms transport the listener to a windswept coastal town, where stories of love and loss are whispered on the salty breeze.

Standout tracks like "Rainy Day Blues" and "Broken Lighthouse" showcase the duo's storytelling prowess, painting vivid pictures with their evocative lyrics. The raw emotion in Smith's vocals is matched only by the masterful instrumentation provided by Hewson, creating a sonic landscape that is at once intimate and expansive.

"August Gale" is a triumph of folk-infused indie rock, a genre-bending exploration of sound and emotion that will leave listeners craving more. Smith and Hewson have crafted a masterpiece that is as timeless as it is modern, a testament to the enduring power of music in all its forms. Don't miss out on this gem of an album - it's a journey you won't soon forget.
