Luray, Red Leg Husky


Luray’s music is described in a press release as “somewhere between Iron & Wine and Emmylou Harris,” and singer-songwriter Shannon Carey’s brother Sean—better known as S. Carey of Bon Iver fame—handles production duties on the group’s wistful new album, The Wilder. Those three references should give you a pretty good idea of what you’re getting into: pastoral folk, gutty melodies, a firm handle on the finer points of banjo-pickin’. Though occasionally humdrum, The Wilder‘s best tunes, like the rugged “Kalorama,” reveal moments of Lucinda Williams-esque sharpness. Musically, the record straddles the moveable line between front-porch Americana and atmospheric nu-folk, a sonic tribute to forward movement.
