Produced in 2011 with Skyler Norwood (Blind Pilot, Horse Feathers) album Take The Air is lucid and timeless, steeped in the sadness of the past but glinting with the honey-blossomed intention of an unknown future. Rawling's soulful songs speak from a depth of experience and integrity not often found in modern music, while Parks weaves gentle textures of haunting string melodies around and through the rolling audio landscape. The duo played together in two other Portland-based groups (On the Stairs & Fast Rattler) before giving proper energy to Jenn's debut album in September of 2011. This release varnishes the dark oak of the world with a sinewy timbre not soon forgotten.
