Tim & Holly Beals present this four-track CD, which features delicate vocal harmonies over intricate guitar playing, and special guest appearances by Wellington blues maestro Thomas Oliver on Weissenborn (slide guitar).
'Truth You Know' EP is the first release from Ashes of August - the recording/stage name for Wellington-based folk songwriter Tim Beals. Performing as a duo with his sister Holly Beals, this four-track CD features delicate vocal harmonies over intricate guitar playing, and special guest appearances by Wellington blues maestro Thomas Oliver on Weissenborn (slide guitar).
Recording the 'old fashioned way' to 1/4" analogue tape reels, 'Truth You Know' EP was largely captured in single takes, performed at Holly's place in the hills of Brooklyn in June 2008, against the wet and wintry backdrop of Wellington City.
"It has been my intention to write with honesty and sincerity without being over-stated, and I hope that my work reflects this effort. My songs are about love and loss - hopes and fears. Ashes of August performances are an intimate and emotional offering, and it's my hope that the recordings have captured that essence."
- Tim Beals (Ashes of August)
"Beals' lyrics reach outwards searchingly and travel seamlessly across well-constructed chord changes, melodies and bass-lines. There is a sweet melancholy in many of his songs, which instinctively makes you lean inwards toward the music as it dips and rises. Reminiscent of artists such as Nick Drake and Iron and Wine, Beals' songs are haunting and sublime."
- Amie Mills (Exposure Magazine)
