"There is an economic darkness on this recording. Lonely banjos ride along sharp ridges, horns swirl in cold creeks, and there is subtle sense of loss in Bauer's music that leaves the impression of a man whose demons will not be stilled." -Skyscraper
"An album of fragile beauty" -Under the Radar
"Matt Bauer plays a ghostly sort of folk, wreathed in delicate webs of banjo and whispered with a lightness Sam Beam might envy." -Philadelphia Weekly

Ryan Francesconi's stock has soared of late as the main man on Joanna Newsom's stunning triple album Have One On Me. He arranged and played all over that stunning opus as well as figuring centrally in its live incarnation and the Ys Street Band of Newsom?s previous record. Parables is the first album under his own name. Francesconi's solo acoustic guitar creates a surprisingly rich sound that hints at his extensive musical interests - American bluegrass, Baroque lute music, traditional Bulgarian folk and jazz improvisation.
An ecstatic and measured reconciliation of West-African/ Balkan/ Baroque/ bluegrass influences, which ultimately resembles nothing I know - Joanna Newsom

Dana Falconberry is a musical natural. Hailed by the Austin Chronicle as one of the city?s ?most promising singer-songwriters? and ?most arresting female vocalists,? her distinctive talents and singular creative vision find full and brilliant fruition on her debut full-length national album release, oh skies of grey.
