Favorite Song of the Week: Pure Horsehair - Red Night

I love fall. It's my favorite season. I find that in fall, I tend to listen to more acoustic, folky, americana type music. Especially those songs that sound simple to the ear, yet are deliberate in their details.



Pure Horsehair delivers that sound for me. I find it particularly in their song Red Night.

Listen: Pure Horsehair - Red Night mp3

Listen and hear how the music compliments the lyrics beautifully. The acoustic guitar, the strings, the way it just fades to an end. It's a lovely song that is over far to quickly.

Pure Horsehair is the partnership of Garret Devoe and Shahzad Ismaily.


Garrett Devoe songs, singing, stringing...was born in Fort Huachuca, Arizona & raised in Mechanicville, New York...listens to albums in full...prefers broken in instruments.

Shahzad Ismaily the dew on the grass & a foot to the ass...an American of Pakistani decent, was born in a manger & raised in rural Pennsylvania...listens only to his favorite songs while thoroughly digesting written treatises on theory, composition, form and acoustics...considers just about everything an instrument.
Aubade was released early in 2006. I can't recommend this album enough; it's a perfect way to get your fall season started. For those of you in climates that lack the biting chill, the falling leaves and the incredibly precious moments of sunshine that a Wisconsin October offers, this album may just convey it through music. eMusic subscribers can find the album here.

Enjoy more Pure Horsehair here as well as on their myspace site.
