We have been longtime listeners and fans of the incredible podcast The Longest Shortest Time. A few years ago, Rachel wrote Hillary Frank as a fan to share "A Lullaby (for Malcolm)." LST featured the song on their blog (you can see the original post here). Then, just a few months ago, Hillary reached out to Rachel to follow up on the story, just as we were planning to go on tour, and the result is the interview and story you hear below:

Two friends try to figure out how to stay friends after one of them has a baby. The one without the baby hatches a secret plan. To join the conversation about this episode, go to longestshortesttime.com!

We are so proud of this story and we're excited to share it with you!

We have had a recent string of awesome press for our EP, Ballads for Trying Times. Below, check out a roundup of our favorites

Playback:STL

Ballads for Trying Times is a delectable listen, an emotional journey down a sullen, yet hopeful trail. Garcia and Tran bring together songs that appear written just for the listener, and no one else. A very personal and intimate release. A+

Bitch Media

While the songs explore disenchantment, Garcia's rich, warm voice wraps around you like the softest quilt and Tran's subdued guitar shines at all the right moments, creating somber tracks that are more than palatable and neccessary.

Pasadena Weekly

Their economically composed songs address challenges and spirit-boosting moments of an artist’s life, with smart commentary on social attitudes

The Deli

The folk-driven duo write baroque lullabies that move along with an ease and fluidity that showcases their musical maturity and sensibility. García’s torchy vocals have a soft spoken tone that can surely alleviate the end of a busy shift, the kind that befits their knack for lilting bossa nova rhythms and lush jazz arrangements.

Elmore Magazine

Garcia’s expression of toil through her floating vocals simmer above Tran’s steady guitar rhythms and his bluesy playing, reflecting their optimism in the midst of self-doubt.
