Honestly, we’ve admired Blues Control from afar for years now since first discovering the few tracks that were originally posted on their MySpace. Since then, Lea Cho and Russ Waterhouse have left behind the hectic life of New York City, spent a brief stint in an apartment that they did not care for in Philly, and have now comfortably settled into their current home nestled in the Lehigh Valley on a mountain. We really didn’t know much about the duo’s backstory beforehand – just simply their music that is provocatively unique while still giving a nod to the multiple influences that they’ve plucked from music history, which is a good reason for you to grab their latest release Valley Tangents (Drag City) if you haven’t already. (You can also read our review of the album HERE.) It was a pleasure having the opportunity to learn more about Blues Control. Please check out our interview with the couple/bandmates Lea Cho and Russ Waterhouse HERE.
