New Bums represents a new singer-songwriter oriented project from Ben “Six Organs of Admittance” Chasny and Donovan Quinn of Skygreen Leopards. The duo, touring their Drag City release Voices In A Rented Room, shared songs from that intimate, Americana-tinged song cycle with us at Baby’s All Right a few weeks ago to a fervent crowd of admirers. Anyone familiar with these players knows to expect nothing less than excellence, and that’s very much what they delivered. These low-key compositions don’t aspire to the same kind of nirvana as Chasny and Quinn’s more experimental main projects, but they’re nonetheless satisfying, especially as the pair’s voices and playing styles complement each other. The Baby’s space — intimate but not shabby — proved the perfect place to hear these songs live. Now head back to your bedroom or another quiet place and put on the headphones. You’ll see what I mean.
This set was recorded by Devin Foley 0n the house digital multitrack recorder, which I mixed down and edited. The sound quality is outstanding. Enjoy!
