' is the result of a collaboration between of and . Unlike a lot of side projects where the artists involved want to branch out and explore new musical vistas, represents a perfect blend of 's quietly autumnal, richly arranged sound and ' fragile and intimate approach to indie pop. Built around the duo's gently plucked and strummed Spanish acoustic guitars, the record is a lush and refined treat that sounds the way burning leaves smells, lulling you with tender lullabies and surprising you like a glimpse of a fox scampering through shrubbery. The songs are influenced by British folk, bossa nova, indie pop, and gentle psychedelia, produced and arranged with a light touch and punctuated by guest appearances from friends like , , and -- most memorably -- 's , whose trumpet adds some wonderful texture to the overall sound. At the heart of the record, though, are the duo's voices; 's knowing croon and 's fragile whisper blend together nicely and separately sound like two sides of a very similar coin. They both impart a lot of feeling into the words and melodies without a lot of effort, and create a warm and comfortable space for the listener to sink right into peacefully and completely. The record is fairly well split between hazy ballads and uptempo janglers, striking a nice balance and keeping things interesting throughout. For every hauntingly autumnal ballad like there's a lilting and sweet tune like With no weak moments and enough highlights to fill a mixtape (like 's almost unbearably gentle lullaby and the heartbreakingly lovely song ), is a well-conceived, perfectly executed album that captivates you right from the beginning and doesn't let go until well after the album stops spinning. ~ Tim Sendra
