PWolf and Avi "Coattails"

Acoustic San Franciscan duo Avi Vinocour (formerly of Stone Foxes) and Patrick Wolf, or PWolf and Avi, aren't famous ... yet.  But after listening to their album, you'll probably agree with me that they very much should be. 

Coattails is the kind of album that is unmarked by time.  It could have been made thirty years ago and it will be just as good in thirty more.  Refreshingly spacious, the album is a collection of beautiful and isolated acoustic songs that are the product of two genius musicians with a knack for songwriting.  Featuring beautiful guitar picking and quirky lyrics, Coattails is as impossibly likeable as the two modest, talented young musicians that created it.

The album's simplicity is what makes it so good; the duo only put in what they really needed to.  "When you have a full band, you feel like everyone needs to play on every song. We only played what we needed to," says Patrick.  In fact, PWolf and Avi originally recorded 14 songs for the album, but picked the 9 simplest tracks to use on the final product.  The result is an organic collection of music that comes across as effortless, raw, and honest.
