Bring on the Light is available tomorrow (31 July)

Any regular readers here at Incognito HQ shouldn’t be surprised that we’re doing something a little different with the pick of the week. A fair share of duos have been featured here on this site, but they are usually greasy blues or punk. Lac La Belle is an acoustic duo from Detroit (and no, this is not the kind of music you’d expect to come out of Detroit.) Two things are immediately striking about this band. First, this duo writes really good songs. My personal favorite is the last song on the album “Bring on the Light.” This song features only guitar and mandolin and it is pretty well steeped in bluegrass. Jennie Knaggs and Nick Schillace finish the song with just vocals, and I will tell you something, loyal reader. The end of this song makes the hairs on my arms stand up. Yes, it’s that good. The other standout quality of the band is the harmonies. These two have obviously been playing together for a significant amount of time because they know how to harmonize like the best bluegrass bands out there. If American roots music is something that interests you, give this band a listen. Bring on the Light is available tomorrow.
