Husband and wife team Andrea and Paul Connelly, otherwise known as Birds and Arrows ,will release their follow up to 2009’s Starmaker, called We’re Gonna Run, on 307 Knox Records May 10. To mark the release, the band will play a CD release show at the Local 506 Saturday.
The band is also slated for a live performance on WUNC’s State of Things at noon EST Friday.
We’re Gonna Run’s 10 songs remain true to the folk rock tradition while interspersing lush orchestration. Andrea Connolly’s smoky vocals recall the country-tinged heartache of Caitlyn Cary or the Indigo Girls, punctuated by Josh Starmer’s weepy cello. The perfect marriage of Andrea and Paul’s harmonies on songs like “Weeping Willow” and “Time Alone” show a band at its most-finely tuned.
