jsrmedia Finally they have a name! Such great vibes, storytelling, & instrumentation. Favorite track: Promise.

Searchlight Casting Such a fresh psychedelic sound! Favorite track: Don't Stop Now.

silverwarrior I love the style. I love Mikaela's voice. I really dig the harp, which makes this band shine - not that the other musicians aren't excellent. The combination makes their music stand out. The best track? Tough choice. Favorite track: Cinderella.

ktulk11 chill sound of late summer and fall. great vocals and the steel guitar gives it a Hawaiian island feel Favorite track: Promise.

monkeypi This album is an instant classic. Every song is perfect, no skipping necessary. Lush, gorgeous. One listen is all it takes to know this will be on infinite repeat for a long time

Pure Magic. I have listened to this album everyday since I got it. I love it. Favorite track: Promise.

Well there isn’t too much left to say, I know As it’s getting to be many years ago It’s a simple fact that ain’t too hard to see But I never thought you’d be this far from me And I know that things have seemed to work out alright Oh but if I was to meet you in the moonlight There’s a place back home I often used to go Where the setting sun kept me from sinking low And I know sometimes you used to go there too So I never thought I’d be this far from you And I know that things have seemed to work out alright Oh but if I was to meet you in the moonlight

about

Five years since her debut album Delivery, Mikaela Davis has moved away from her hometown of Rochester, shared the stage with the likes of Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Christian McBride, Bon Iver, Lake Street Dive and Circles Around the Sun and entered a new decade. But it’s the ever-evolving relationships between her closest friends and bandmates that has propelled the Hudson Valley-based artist onto her latest album And Southern Star––a truly collaborative effort that ruminates on the choices we make, and the people we always come back to.

The band, made up of Davis (harp/vocals), Alex Coté (drums), Cian McCarthy (guitars/vocals), Shane McCarthy (bass/vocals) and Kurt Johnson (steel guitar), have been playing together for over a decade and it’s the first time they’ve appeared on a full length record together. Weaving 60s pop-soaked melodies, psychedelia and driving folk rock, And Southern Star picks apart the reflection we used to recognise, while trying to build a new one. It navigates the periphery of past selves, the coexistence of isolation and excitement in a new environment and the tension of growing away from what we thought we wanted, tackling it with a luscious, kaleidoscopic grace. “I finally feel like this album is more me than anything else that’s been released,” Davis says, adding that producing the album along with her four bandmates allowed them to carve out their own ideas, rather than someone else’s. It’s the band’s collective step into adulthood that has informed much of And Southern Star’s thematic landscape.
