The daring duo otherwise known Shovels & Rope have molded together in their most recent work Little Seeds. After taking some time off from the road to raise their firstborn child, the husband and wife took their diligence into their own home studio, and have justifiably proven just how rock and roll they really are.
This thirteen-track collection touches upon musical dilettantes, killers on the run, Alzheimer’s disease, the 2015 massacre of nine people in a Charleston church, the loss of a dear friend, among other emotionally dark subjects. Keeping with their Americana folk roots, the album also explores rock and roll in a dimension that exceeds previous exhibitions from the Southern duo.
Little Seeds is set for an official release on October 7th, but can be streamed exclusively through NPR’s First Listen in the system below:
