Music floating on calmer seas is "netted" by my ears and released to the hungry listeners. It's a stringy catch, but freuently live and always delectable.

Conjuring up the spirit of legendary producer Joe Boyd, The Court and Spark's new album "Witch Season" has all the elements of folk-rock music so near and dear to my heart. Led by singer/ songwriter/ multi-instrumentalist MC Taylor, with lead guitarist Scott Hirsch, The Court and Spark's roots are in the punkier, Ex-Ignota. Meeting up with drummer James Kim after that band's demise they began playing quieter music. After a move to San Francisco, lap steel guitarist Tom Heyman completed the ensemble and they began making music that has been compared to The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and Low. |
