cellmates

"Cellmates creates a lulling brand of string-infused, epic folk, perhaps akin to A Silver Mt Zion but more natural and modest. Allow me to be an elitist music critic and label them the bashful yet surly twins borne from the seeds of Efrim Menuck and Will Oldham. The sound at this groups core is formed by poignant tunes that are escalated to a level of heroic artistry by the candid drone of Osbournes voice and the unfurling of acoustic weavings that knit a delicate fabric of understated passion. The music of Cellmates is sincere, at times haunting or affecting, and strikingly beautiful in its lucently-covered nakedness." -radiofreechicago.org
