Jill Andrews and Sam Quinn’s dulcet vocal melodies are crisp and bracing as the autumn air, wafting through a small clutch of leafless oaks. Those oaks—naked and lonely in the receding winter light—echo the longing peals of old-timey fiddle and lap steel, as the music teeters at the edge of despair. The Johnson City, Tenn., quartet’s folk-pop fragility recalls Elliott Smith draped in dark Southern gothic. The stunning opening track, “Aeroplane,” jangles alluringly with fiddle and guitar reverb haunting the background while Quinn and Andrews harmonize over a “love them/set them free” tale. “What holds me up/Is going to burn me in the turn around,” Quinn sings mournfully, “Life has the sweetest refrain.” Apropos of the title, melancholia seeps into every corner, from the aching Americana of “Birthday” to the rootsy rock swell of “Don’t Turn Around,” and even the pleading country misnomer, “Everything is Okay.” Sadness can be so beautiful.

　　Having proclaimed God a moonshiner and channeled the sorrows of everyone from flooded-out farmers to Elvis on their ﬁrst two LPs, this Johnson City, Tenn., duo has ﬁnally grazed upon some of its own old bones, rummaging through the dark closet of the South. Sam Quinn and Jill Andrews trade gorgeous, aching vocals that sear through a tapestry of plaintive ﬁddle and pedal steel, sucker-punching with lines like “you took the candy out of my mouth / and ﬁlled it up with really old Saltines” (on the sprawling post-love song “Everything Is Okay”) and “time will forget your name / and ﬂoat away in a purple haze / the best you can hope for is to go in your sleep” (on the heady ﬁrst track “Aeroplane”). Sometimes love don’t feel like it should, but who’s to say what’s right or wrong with sadness this divine?

　　Sam Quinn and Jill Andrews met at summer camp and have been writing songs together ever since. Their first two albums showcased an Americana act blending folk, country and bluegrass. Andrews’ raw, wanton alto and Quinn’s wobbly twang harmonized nicely over songs ranging from the soulful old-timey ode “By Your Side” to the sweet, rootsy pop tune “So Good.” But with the departure of Dobro player David Richey, the band have moved away from that traditional sound. Their latest combo, featuring pedal steel, electric guitar and keyboards, contributes to a more rocking third album. Due in mid-August, Nothing Is Okay ranges from the shambling “Aeroplane,” whose homey melody recalls The Band, to the swelling, reverb-drenched guitar of “Don’t Turn Around,” reminiscent of a backwoods My Morning Jacket.

关于乡村

我很少去尝试乡村乐，那些泛滥出青草气息的欢快乐章似乎向来不适合我的耳朵。可是如果放缓它的节奏，降低它的声音，也就是在country前加一个前缀Alt-，那么或许我就会去尝试。来自田纳西的The Everybodyfields从2年前一出道就占据了另类乡村的前沿一角，可似乎在国内知道他们的... (展开)
