As I've written about before, I am fascinated with bands that use minimal members. As a musician who has engaged in such ventures, I am always interested in seeing how different people approach the obstacle of somewhat limited resources. As talked about
yesterday, some bands have taken the route of covering the holes with pure noise. Today I'm focusing more on the bands who take a more comparatively subdued route, though no less layered and dynamic.
All three bands are male and female duos though only one truly takes advantage of the vocal possibilities presented by such contrasting vocals but none are limited in scope and ingenuity. Enjoy.
Mates of State
Perhaps my favorite of all the bands on this list, Mates of State consists of husband and wife duo Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel and could easily be added to the list of
family bands posted previously on this blog.
