Post Description

When Eagle & the Wolf – a duo comprised of Sarah Humphreys and Kristen Lee Morris – released ‘Something Good’, the first single from their new album, Two Lovers, it could be said they were making a promise about what that album might entail. When they later released the glorious single ‘Currawong’ they were telegraphing the mixture of musical styles that might be found on that album, from uptempo folk to spacious, evocative traditional country. There was no false advertising in either single, and Two Lovers is a poetic and majestic and also foot-stompingly entertaining collection of songs.

The 11 songs on the album explore the inner and outer worlds. Where ‘Currawong’ sprang from Humphreys’s close observation of the Australian bush, ‘Mescaline’ takes inspiration from Morris’s experiences of a different sort of plant life and his accompanying journey within. ‘Scare Myself’ is Humphreys’s piercing yet tender self-examination; ‘Soft Hearted Woman’ is her positioning herself within ‘a harsh old world’. There are songs of relationship as well as self, with Morris and Humphreys offering their own versions of their mutual story, reminding us that any situation can result in multiple intrepretations.
