Mandolin Orange
This is another group I came across on noisetrade recently. It's a guy-girl folk/bluegrass duo from North Carolina. Normally I don't go in for old-school bluegrass, but this couple has nailed the genre. The technicality and flow of the music they produce is really incredible. The dude plays the guitar, but it almost sounds like a banjo with his style of picking. The girl plays the violin. Check out this video as an example of their skill. I like the lyrical style, too; the lyrics are smart but understated, and complement the instruments well. The harmonies are very clean and well-executed. It looks like they are currently on tour in NC, GA, and TN...I have a feeling they are amazing live.
