Splendid Weather

Today I came across two new tracks from a band, whom I've been very into since they first were adding friends on myspace back in 2006. The Band is Rue Royale, made up Husband and Wife duo Brookln and Ruth Dekker. I have had the pleasure of seeing them twice in their founding town of chicago at both the Beat Kitchen and my personal favorite venue ( not just because i worked for them) Schubas Tavern. Brookln and Ruth have a beautiful sound to their voices as they combine highs and lows of their vocals and their light sounding songs. The band started with just the two of them, an acoustic guitar, a single bass drum and some shakers. And occasionally if your lucky, you can see them playing with friends of theirs who may provide piano parts to the songs, and sometimes even a drumset. This small assortment of instruments creates a beautiful experience for the listener though that definitely makes one recognize this band out of the rest. Sadly though for us chicagoans, They left chicago to explore new musical horizons in the EU. Although they have gone to another continent, their music will forever stay with their fans, who will follow them throughout their journey.

With that....

I give you the two free tracks they have posted for the winter. Be sure to check out their myspace, and if you happen to be in Europe, check out their tour!
