Ashleigh Still and Nick Salisbury July 21, 2010

Abandoning conventional group formats, the duo is made up of an unusual combination of only voice and electric bass. The minimalist approach is startlingly effective, allowing Still's intimate and mesmerizing vocals and sexy-yet-tender songwriting to take center stage. Without guitar, keys, percussion or programming, the arrangements are bare and yet complete, Salisbury's bass evoking everything from Fender Rhodes to a gentle blues guitar arrangement.
