See you around


Description


Summary: An impromptu show in 2014 at the Sheridan Opera House in Telluride, CO, sparked the formation of Im With Her and sent the trio touring the world together the next year. Along the way, Im With Her formed a special, family-like chemistry, garnering acclaim for their unique blend of instrumental interplay combined with their indelible harmonies, as the New York Times describes, {28}... that could be sweetly ethereal, or as tightly in tandem as country sibling teams like the Everly Brothers, or as hearty as mountain gospel.

"There's a strength within the close harmonies and the sighing instrumentation, traits that give the music a firm backbone even when the volume is quiet, which it often is. All of these elements -- the fleet, natural interplay, the songs so finely crafted they feel like they've been discovered - reflect the skilled professionalism of I'm with Her but also their distinct chemistry. While See You Around recalls work Watkins, O'Donovan, and Jarosz have done before, none have made an album quite as exquisitely shaded as this".

"Supergroups tend to be tricky. There's no guarantee that slamming together a handful of undeniably talented musicians will result in something greater than the sum of its members. Thankfully, I'm With Her, the smashing collective of Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, and Aoife O'Donovan, is a beautiful cohesion of tight harmonies, acoustic brilliance, and fresh songwriting".

"Top of the world" - "'See You Around' is a glorious panoply of astonishing talent and engaging material. Sarah Jarosz' voice is warm, round and deeper in tonal inflection than her fellow bandmates, accented by that trademark tinge of Texas twang. Aoife O'Donovan possesses a higher, tighter instrument with a sharper edge. Sara Watkins occupies the middle ground, fuller and more forward and even-keeled in projection. We haven't heard the likes of I'm With Her in generations. 'Game to Lose' is a rumination on romantic entanglement masquerading as a funky bluegrass hayride, containing some hair-raising harmony singing. 'Pangaea' effortlessly glides between solo and harmony passages in an ethereal cloud of exultation. There's even an all-instrumental number ('Waitsfield') to showcase the mad fingerpicking and bowing skills - fiddle, guitar, mandolin - of this three-headed monster of a band".
