It may be possible to tell the two members of Brooklyn folk-pop band The Perennials are married just by listening to their music. In their debut single "Breadcrumbs" (streaming below) the two allude to woodland fables using vocals that are harmonized so well that one might believe that Pete and Amanda Wells were predestined to sing together. Their tracks’ instrumentation dinamically accompanies this vocal chemistry, bringing together drums, guitar and piano to create an emotionally charged but modern folk rock sound that is reminiscent of the one of their label’s founders, NYC’s band The National. Look out for a debut album later in the year. — Henry Solotaroff-Webber – Photo by Luis Ruiz
