White Swan Black Swan - Double Mini (CD)

Price per Unit (piece): NZ$20.00

"Ben and Sonya are great songwriters; their lyricsactually mean something, which is somewhat rare these days. Stand outfor me is Bands and Pets,I LOVE the keyboard and want to know what it is! The words to this songare funny, true and uplifting, sung in quiet a deadpan style…I fully recommend this album as one to add to your collection. UNDER THE RADAR RATING 9 /10

"Here they get a 20 minute mini-album each on which to better expose their wide-screen reverb drenched sound-world and respective songs. Waters' honeyed, fallen angel voice and sugar dipped, nostalgic melodies make a nice contrast to Howe's slowly grinding country rock. Metro - Gary Steel

“White Swan is the drawled film score pop songs of Sonya Waters and Black Swan is the darker alt country songs of Arch Hill boss Ben Howe. Cat Power v Bonnie Prince Billy….they are the most handsome birds on the river now”
