Биография

Siblings, Alex & Emily McCollum, are backed by a band of spacetime manipulators abandoning status-quo song structures and accompanying their vocal harmonies in sharp crashes and infinite loops of echo. "There are unkempt electric guitars and delicately strummed acoustic ones. There are propulsive rock songs and shimmering ballads and haunting songs that seem to hang in the air like mist or clouds over the mountains. There are banjos and cellos and atmospheric drones and all sorts of angular, unexpected production flourishes that take seemingly conventional song-structures and cast them through a funhouse mirror. It's Americana music as played by musicians who don't especially care for Americana music." - Vincent Harris, Charleston City Paper "Beloved for the striking power of the brother-sister duo’s knotty, elusive lyrical style and commitment to soaring, gorgeous unison vocals. Musically, Stagbriar [is] constantly shifting and pushing its boundaries, going from early singer-songwriter-y efforts to a fierce, muscular sound as new members brought both more punch and atmospherics, leading to the kind of indie folk that feels big enough to headline festivals and fill arenas." - Kyle Petersen, Free Times
