Double Breasted is a new sound for the rock genre. Who Will Love You? is their first full length album and it truly manifests and exhibits the creativity of all three members. Each one has an unmistakable talent and passion for their music. Josh Bicknell on percussion, Ardith Collins on the cello, and Kristy Chmura on the harp, make up what they have self proclaimed as “couture rock.”
The combination of these three voices creates an elegant, captivating, and almost haunting encounter with music. The resonating long notes on the cello combine with the melody and harmonies from the harp to produce an exquisite classical sound, meanwhile the vocal lines, and percussion have a more pop feel. When the two are merged on this album their music takes on new depth. Their sound is intriguing because of the unusual combination of instruments a close ear is easily pleased with its complexity while an easy listener can also enjoy the sheer beauty.
“Animals”is a brilliant track that opens with soft harp and soothing cello then progresses through a stunning harmonic chorus that includes all three of the band’s voices. As the melody picks up, the cello, harp, and vocals soar to new and exciting places then come full circle and close on more delicate tones. The entire album brings an appealing new face to rock and all the while satisfies every craving for remarkable musical talent.
