“We like the organic parts of folk and country, even ‘mistakes’ made by playing, for example, a banjo live. It has soul and original feeling,” the duo explains. “But we also love the energy which electronic music makes through the tempo, powerful synthesizers, and strong kick drums.”
The forthcoming music video for “Old Guitar” will be crowdsourced via social platform musical.ly, which allows users to create and share their own 15-second music videos.
