It was bound to happen sooner or later. After playing in separate bands for years, Los Angeles based brother and sister, Brad and Stacy Michelson recorded some demos together discovering THIS was the secret recipe for an Artichoke Heart Soufflé.
Their first CD, self titled, in 2006 garnered attention from Los Angeles radio station KCRW and Austrailian record label Half A Cow (Nic Dalton — The Lemonheads).
Fall 2008 sees the release of Artichoke Heart Soufflé's second CD "Who You Know". With the recording of this 7 song EP, Brad and Stacy expanded their sound beyond guitars, bass, and drums by bringing in instruments ranging from melodica, omnichord, and glockenspiel to old favorites like hand claps, finger snaps, and tons of harmonies. "Who You Know" includes "Don't Confuse This" — a track Produced by Hunter Burgan (AFI, Tegan and Sara "The Con"). Burgan also contributed to the mixing of the record.
Artichoke Heart Soufflé proves to be more than just a tasty sounding dish – They are a band, an ongoing art project, a collaboration between two songwriters, and something you need to hear.
