Description
Anders Parker was the main force behind experimental indie-rock band Varnaline. He has also released four critically acclaimed solo albums and most recently been a part of the Woody Guthrie project New Multitudes with Jay Farrar, Jim James and Will Johnson.
Kendall Meade is most known for her band Mascott, described by Spin Magazine as "a tender indie rock project that combines soft piano and guitar pop with diary-like lyrical intimacy".
Friends and collaborators since the '90's, Anders & Kendall have always wanted to do a project together but the time was never right. Last Spring they recorded in Knoxville with Anders old bandmate from Sparklehorse, Scott Minor. Minor's analog studio, Wild Chorus, was recently completed and this is the first full-length album to be recorded there. In tribute the record was named after the studio.
You can hear both Parker's and Meade's distinct styles on the album, but the result is a sound all their own. The magic is how their voices blend together, something Rolling Stone caught when reviewing the earlier Meade/Parker duet from Parker's second solo album.In the end, Wild Chorus, is ultimately about Meade's and Parker's voices and the songs they wrote together- 11 melodies that capture the spirit of two accomplished musicians and great friends.
