Babes In Canyon,
Camp Bedford
Babes In Canyon draws eloquently from the palettes of moody folk and synth-heavy pop to present a sound both eminently engaging and very much of the moment. Around luminous vocals swirl neon-flecked echoes of 1980s radio, while meticulous touches of mandolin flit about the firelight. Lush and astutely layered, what began as an exploration of the outer edges of Americana has evolved into a cohesive, enchanting artistic statement.
