$4.00

Considering they've collaborated ever since they were kids livingunder the same roof, The Baird Sisters arguably could have made analbum like Until You Find Your Green years ago. They released two liverecordings (the first recorded by their dad) and made plenty of demos,but this marks the first time Laura and Meg Baird decided to graduallywrite and record a full-length on their own terms. The songs, recordedin Laura’s house, result in a familial intimacy joined by skillfuldepth, the ideal blend for a folk record, an equal mix of comfort andtalent.Growing up surrounded by music, the sisters have traveled separatepaths while remaining close. Laura studied piano and trombone inschool and has collaborated with Glenn Jones on his recent releases.Meg has played in Espers, Watery Love, and currently drums/sings inHeron Oblivion. She’s also released a few solo albums on DragCity--fear not, as Laura's first solo record will be released by usearly next year!Through this independent experience, their work has evolved as TheBaird Sisters, reaching its apex with Until You Find Your Green. Theserecordings capture the complexity of seventies progressive folk rock,emphasizing acoustic instrumentation with a lack of self-consciousnessthat can only come from a private domestic environment. Meg playsguitar, Laura banjo, singing in harmony, and ornamenting their songswith flute, cello, fiddle, mandolin, upright bass, percussion and acricket chorus.Green's recordings have as much in common with Molly Drake and EmahoyTsegué-Mariam Guebrù as with Pentangle and Shirley Collins.  They seemtraditional, but that’s deceptive, as they unfold in greater depthsthe deeper attention you pay them.Originally released exclusively to members of Grapefruit Record Club,Until You Find Your Green has been repressed with new artwork and isavailable for the first time on CD and Digital.
