The Spider Ferns
Album Preview: SOON ENOUGH
Inextricably linked in all things life, love, and The Spider Ferns, musical husband and wife duo Alton and Kelly Fleek continue to find inspiration on both sides of the fence, evidenced in their much anticipated debut album, SOON ENOUGH. Generalized as electronic trip-rock, these two clearly pull from a larger library, influenced by not only all-things-music, but an innate sense of the physical and spatial. Alton and Kelly spend their weekends in Seattle, keeping step with communal and artistic affairs; however, the rest of their time is spent [living] and contemplating one’s existence on six acres at the bottom of a mountain in Skagit County. In their repurposed barn, one could say, is where the magic happens.
SOON ENOUGH appears to embrace this duality, encompassing and intertwining two realities that are both beautiful and scary, inhabited yet lonely. A balance exists in their soundscape that tightropes between beats, strings, and keys. Like a wild animal, Kelly’s vocals come and go, ebb and flow, retreating and returning with an echo that hangs in the air, to return at leisure. The opening and closing tracks are visited by New York-based producer, musician, and world dreamer Audiosapian, who lends a faster tempo on a more complex background.
The Spider Ferns will be enjoying the fruits of their labor with an album release party at Barboza on Thursday, January 29th. Accompanying them for the show will be Seattle-based electronica bands Modern Ruins and Screens. SOON ENOUGH is scheduled for release on January 20th, so be sure to order it, and come out to the Hill to show your support! Tickets are $6 in advance, and that, my friends, is a steal.
