Drawing Down the Moon opens to drops of harp, wrapped loosely in luscious vocals that wind through a fairytale melody; "Wake Up, Sleepyhead" is a perfect introduction to the record, a lullaby to stir the senses. “Signs in the Leaves” is haunting, a devastating tale of giving up someone you love and then longing for them with your entire being. If heartbreak has ever sounded more beautiful, we have never heard it. The record closes with "Walking in Circles", a track which embraces and envelopes the listener. Subtle but striking guitar finds itself laced through pointed, poignant lyrics on time and emotion, “we lament with the passing of time/ hoping we never show it.”
This full-length from Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor was produced by Eric Bachmann (Crooked Fingers) at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, North Carolina, mixed by Michael Patterson (O+S) in Los Angeles, CA and features guest appearances by Andy LeMaster (Now It's Overhead) and Liz Durrett.
