The Adobe Collective is a musical project based in 29 Palms, CA which is in a corner of the Mojave desert of Southern California just outside of Joshua Tree. Following a crowdfunding campaign that fully paid for CD and vinyl copies of their self titled debut album, they appeared in many versatile live performance styles —from intimate duo acoustic performances at small local venues; to rowdy roadhouse band sets at the world famous Pappy & Harriet’s Pioneertown Palace; all the way up to an 8-piece band on the main stage at the Joshua Tree Music festival. 
     The latest album Take Heart, Take Care was already in the works by the time the debut was released and one listen reveals that the new songs have depth that comes from daily life in the desert tempered by serious time in the recording studio. The album was recorded at High Lonesome Studio in Joshua Tree and while still rooted in roots/folk sensibility with a focus on lush vocal harmonies, there are also new elements of country, rock, and even brief forays into psychedelia. 
     Musical highlights on the new album include Tamarisk, a piece with complex vocal harmonies that crescendos into a driving beat with rich instrumentation. Nothing There (Honestly) is built on heartfelt lyrics and sweet vocal harmonies with a musical bridge that feels like a cinematic widescreen desert landscape. WONDERLUST is the band’s most epic song to date—basically three songs in one. A rhythmic start leads into velvety verses layered with tremolo laden guitar harmonics, then to wide open space with reverb washed whistling, and ends with a climax of resounding vocals over distorted, gritty guitar.
     This album, along with well-attended local shows, has brought the group some local attention. They have been mentioned in Desert Magazine, Palm Springs Life Magazine, and were featured in Coachella Valley Weekly. In addition, the album was nominated for Best Unsigned Album of the Year by Coachella Valley Weekly, and included in The Desert Sun newspaper’s list of 20 Albums to Discover the High Desert Sound alongside artists like Gram Parsons, Queens of the Stone Age,  and Cracker.

        "...a folksy, psychedelic duo with lush harmonies that delve into the realm of otherworldly." --Palm Springs Life Magazine
