Escondio cut their debut album, “The Ghost of Escondido” in a single day. The dynamic energy between the duo of Tyler James and Jessica Maros accelerated the process, and a shared affinity for spaghetti Westerns lends the project a sense of camp and drama. The spark of their initial chemistry is still burning, as their social media is peppered with images of the pair in the throes of recording. The duo just announced a tour abroad in May supporting fellow Nashvillians Wild Cub, and are receiving a flood of glowing press during their current tour of the Northeast. Take a listen to “Black Roses” to reacquaint yourself with their realm of fringed jackets and desert sunsets before their new stuff hits; David Lynch reportedly had high praises for the tune. –Terra James-Jura
