Description
The Teskey Brothers’ first album Half Mile Harvest was a resounding critical and popular success (and easy favourite of ours at the Basement Discs). We’re so excited about their second full-length release, Run Home Slow.
After Half Mile Harvest vaulted them into the hearts of old-school music lovers everywhere in 2017 with their raw soulful sounds, the Teskey Brothers have since toured extensively around the globe, mesmerizing audiences with their powerful live show.
Avoiding genre labels is something that the band have strived for musically on Run Home Slow, incorporating elements of southern rock, Americana, psychedelia, Dixieland jazz, gospel and a surprise striking pop centrepiece.From the first notes of Josh Teskey’s era-defining vocal to the jaw-dropping restraint of rhythm section Brendon Love (bass) and Liam Gough (drums), and the sheer wonder of Sam Teskey’s guitar sorcery, you just know that you’re witnessing something special.
It’s a masterfully crafted album, and one that returns to the musicians’ roots. They have achieved the difficult task of following up a breakthrough debut with an album that not only pushes their music in new directions, but in the process solidifying their sound into something truly their own, and they’ve done it without sacrificing any of the charm and authenticity that endeared them to their ever-growing audience in the first place.
*Also available on 12″ vinyl.
