About
The Montvales, a Cincinnati, Ohio-based indie country duo comprising Sally Buice and Molly Rochelson, are renowned for their unique blend of radical country and folk, infused with a deep passion for literature and storytelling. Having honed their craft busking as teens in Knoxville, TN, the duo has evolved their sound to create a "bonafide, left-of-center indie country record" that resonates with contemporary audiences.
Their latest album, "Path of Totality," conceived under eclipsed skies, serves as a powerful testament to their artistry. Produced by Eli LoPinto, the album unites diverse American narratives into a collective and cosmic tapestry, charting transformative pilgrimages through an interconnected world. The Montvales boldly confront the weight of political strife and global issues, crafting introspective, thematically and sonically layered tracks that are both "fierce and thoughtful."
Praised by critics for its expansive and politically engaged work, The Montvales offer a sumptuous blend of country, folk, and pop that underpins well-crafted stories. Fans of contemporary Americana storytelling, including artists like Courtney Marie Andrews and Jason Isbell, will find much to appreciate in their music, which invites reflection and lingers long after the final note.
