Viva Voce: Red Letter Day


Ok, I hadn't heard this song before today. Needless to say, I'm quite smitten. Apparently, this husband and wife duo have been making music for more than a decade. The opening melody had a Hooverphonic meets spaghetti western vibe and the double vocal gives the song a richness but floats just enough to keep the overall ethereal tone.

"Red Letter Day" is off the duo's newest album, Rose City. This is the kind of find that spawned the idea to start this blog. It's fantastic. Enjoy it, enjoy your Friday, enjoy your life. That sounded like a Sprite commercial.
