Baird Sisters Until You Find Your Green LP Vinyl

Vinyl LP pressing. 2016 release. Considering they've collaborated ever since they were kids living under the same roof, The Baird Sisters arguably could have made an album like Until You Find Your Green years ago. They've released two live recordings (the first recorded by their dad) and made plenty of demos, but this marks the first time Laura and Meg Baird decided to write and record a full-length on their own terms. The songs, recorded in Laura's house, have a familial intimacy joined by skillful depth, the ideal blend for a folk record, an equal mix of comfort and talent. These recordings capture the complexity of seventies progressive folk rock, emphasizing acoustic instrumentation with a lack of self-consciousness that can only come from a private domestic environment. Meg plays guitar, Laura banjo, singing in harmony, and ornamenting their songs with flute, cello, fiddle, mandolin, upright bass, percussion and a cricket chorus. Until You Find Your Green's songs seem traditional, but that's deceptive, and they unfold in greater depths the deeper attention paid to them.
