You may recognize Doug Keith as the guitarist and bassist who plays alongside Sharon Van Etten. Now he’s stepping forward on his own with the upcoming album Pony.
The 2nd track we’ve received from the album, “Harvest Home”, audibly embodies its name, evoking a scene of arriving home after a day of working the earth. Brad and Phil Cook of Megafaun lend a hand on piano and organ, delivering warm and bright instrumentals, while Keith’s vocals lie just beneath a fine layer of dust. It has a homey feel – not perfect but welcoming. The track feels like being tired but content on a late afternoon somewhere far from any city or town.
The full album is on its way from The Village Label, scheduled to arrive on February 11, 2014.
