Folk music lovers, do yourself a favor and immediately go to iTunes to download The Whispering Tree’s latest album, "Go Call the Captain," and then spend the afternoon listening to all ten tracks start to finish. Rich in lyrics, music, and vocals each song outdoes the next, gorgeously drawing you and sweeping you off your feet like the first few months of a summer romance. Comprised of vocalist Eleanor Kleiner and bassist Ellie Brangbour, The Whispering Tree is easily one of the strongest bands to emerge from the New York indie music scene. “The Tallest,” a standout song on the album, literally breaks your heart and strings it back together again with hauntingly beautiful vocals backed by piano and drums that encourage you to close your eyes and get lost in the music. Exquisitely produced and powerfully delivered, The Whispering Tree has burst through the glass ceiling, demanding the respect they deserve as one of the most talented duos to take stage in NYC. – CM
