Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion will release their second full-length album, Bright Examples, on Ninth Street Opus on Tuesday, February 22, 2011.
Produced by Vetiver’s Andy Cabic and Thom Monahan (Vetiver, Devendra Banhart) and recorded at Dreamland Studios in Woodstock, NY, Bright Examples includes 12 original songs showcasing an entirely new electric sound for Sarah Lee and Johnny. The duo’s patented country-rock songwriting and rich vocal harmonies intertwine with Vetiver’s West Coast pastoral psych-rock aesthetic.
Special guests on Bright Examples include Vetiver’s drummer Otto Houser, Gary Louris and Mark Olson of The Jayhawks (background vocals), singer-songwriter/guitarist Neal Casal (guitar, photography), Kevin Barker and Charlie Rose (pedal steel, flat picking guitars), and Rad Lorkovic (piano).
