Description
Alexandra Sauser-Monnig and Amelia Meath have been yodeling together for upwards of fifteen years in the backseat of a Prius while on their first cross-country tour, on back porches and backstages. Its what led them to Fruit, their debut release as The As a joyous ten-song collection spanning genres and decades, with interpretations of traditionals, lullabies, and an original song, it weaves between the weird and the wonderful. Across the record, the As employ a bizarre-o ghost orchestra of strange noises that are percussive and melodic. The credits include nylon shorts, string (singular), hair, shoes, ice chunk, gravel, frog sample, and shoelace, among other unexpected makeshift instrumentation. The backing band is built out by a more traditional group of players: saxophone from Sam Gendel on Copper Kettle, backing vocals from Jenn Wasner (Flock of Dimes, Wye Oak) on When I Die, string arrangements from Gabriel Kahane on He Needs Me, and more.
