Two Gallants are not the garage blues sound that was in abundance earlier this decade; they hark back to a long lost time of vivid story telling and mournful vocals.

This debut record is charmingly low key yet draws on emotive, half spoken lyrical strains that fit in closely with the likes of Bright Eyes and his emotional consort of upstarts. Distortion is not in Two Gallants' vocabulary as they rely on the resonance of their instruments, drums, guitar and suck and blow harmonica.

The breathless suck and blow harmonica is not the only reminder of Bob Dylan circa Blood on the Tracks, this album is a winding tale of love, loss and longing that has classic written all over it.
