VINYL FORMAT. On Battle Of The Beards, The slow builds and soft confessionals of Argote's tracks play perfect counterpoint to Davis' pulsing songcraft. Themes weave in and out of infidelity, botched love affairs, and late night rolls in the hay. Aimee belts wherein Ben whispers, a single piano or acoustic guitar is butted up against a lush orchestra, and by the last note of these 12 tracks you begin to realize the potential of alliance and the unspoken compliments of friendship.
