SXSW 2012

Veteran Tampa Bay Area indie-scene singer-songwriters Susie Ulrey (Pohgoh, The Maccabees) and Michael Waksman (The Washdown, Zillionaire) have turned a longtime casual collaboration into a gorgeous collection of compelling, thoughtful and artfully composed tunes that balance wistful maturity with a certain earnest and eternally young expression. Not quite pop, not quite anything else, these songs feature an amazingly comfortable balance between the two singers' influences, sounds and styles.
