I’ve fallen hard for the humble NYC duo of Anthony Da Costa and Abbie Gardner, whose sublime harmonies and wrenching lyrics hit in the best possible way. Plus, kid sounds exactly like Ryan Adams, and I don’t think he’s even twenty years old yet – take a listen:

Nothing Left To Hide
On My Knees

Their self-released album Bad Nights / Better Days is quickly becoming one of my most listened-to of the year, as well as my most sung-along-to of the year whilst driving in my car on dark nights. Deeply satisfying.

"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there's something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It's the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part..."
—Nick Hornby, Songbook
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel."
—Hunter S. Thompson

Mp3s are for sampling purposes, kinda like when they give you the cheese cube at Costco, knowing that you'll often go home with having bought the whole 7 lb. spiced Brie log. They are left up for a limited time. If you LIKE the music, go and support these artists, buy their schwag, go to their concerts, purchase their CDs/records and tell all your friends. Rock on.
