"We, Underworld Orchard, have gathered works of writers whose words we sing in our folk trance way.. Gertrude Stein's repetitions, Moon Dog's couplets, James Agees personified gardens, Homer's watery descriptions.
We began to sing together some years ago, just after meeting. We would talk and talk and sing and sing, no structure, no words in our singing and though we were cultures apart, generations apart, we had an ancient vocal connection. Steve now makes a sparkling sonic world where we wind our voices among his bell like tones."
A description of their 2020 recording, from Steve Johnson of 20/20 records, "crepuscular, waxing/waning, magic hour old-weird-America, the edge of folklore as modernism began to creep in, fables from before they laid down the grid.."
