Madison Violet The Knight Sessions (CD)

(Passenger Sounds) 11 tracks, digisleeve

They play up to 200 concerts a year, have toured Australia in a camper van, have written songs on surf beaches as well as on the Antilles island of Grenada and in London. Brenley and Lisa have perfectly cultivated their modern nomadism. And of course, all their encounters on the road have also shaped their music, a pleasantly tempered, smoky, warm blend of tender Americana, pithy folk and flirtatious alternative pop melodies.

With “The Knight Sessions”, Lisa and Brenley have concentrated on the essentials and are returning to their own roots - only with much more experience, artistic self-confidence, verve and courage to innovate than in their early days. A formidably produced album with which this musical duo has once again gained substance and charisma.
