rock/pop

Used to be you could tell the Robin MacArthur songs from the Ty Gibbons songs. A meeting of disparate styles once defined Red Heart the Ticker, but on their new Oh My! Mountains Below (Auger Down), the latter's indie-pop and the former's rootsy folk are interwoven. Majestic highway serenades mix with surreal lullabies for serene lovers, not across tracks, but within them.
