Like their genre-bending brethren The Avett Brothers, the everybodyfields are ushering in a new generation of folk/rock that defies easy catagorization, yet whatever you choose to call it, this band is at the head of the class. Fronted by Sam Quinn and Jill Andrews, the band offers melancholic interpretations of universally human stories set to achingly beautiful melodies. Quinn's echoing twang reverberates like a long-lost radio broadcast and provides a hard edge to Andrews pure, soothing tones. Their voices are backed by the balanced hum of a lap steel, lead guitar, electric bass, piano and acoustic guitar. Straightforward and sure, the everybodyfields combine gentle humor with songs about real-life sorrows. They demonstrate an appreciation for traditional, while at the same time conjuring up something that is not, in fact, traditional at all.
