And the Giraffe are comprised of duo Nick Roberts and Josh Morris, who started the project as University of Florida students in Gainesville, FL, and kept it alive through school changes and cross country moves. Now that the pair is settled down in Nashville, allowing them the luxury of taking Dropbox out of the equation. They have been working on a full-length follow up to superb ambient folk EP’s “Something for Someone” and “Creature Collector.” They released this single, a cover of W.C. Handy’s “Yellow Dog Blues” at the start of this month for a Studio 360 competition. What comes of their submission is a lush rendition of a 100-year old rag enveloped in a soft, warm haze of diffused noise , much more M. Ward than turn-of-century blues. The band is playing fooBar on July 18th with Bear in the Campsite and Matthew Fowler. -Terra James-Jura
