Au Pair - One-Armed Candy Bear

From Gary Louris (The Jayhawks) and Django Haskins (The Old Ceremony)

Album download included, offer subject to expiration

A collaboration between Gary Louris (The Jayhawks) and Django Haskins (The Old Ceremony), Au Pair strikes a balance between classic songcraft and cheeky experimentation on their debut album, One-Armed Candy Bear. The core of the album consists of the duo singing and playing into a single microphone like a Memphis Sun session.

But then they take some strange turns: body percussion, feedback loops, avant guitar, Kraut rock touches, anything goes in the world of Au Pair. This openness was encouraged and enhanced by producer and secret weapon Brian Haran, who recorded the album at his studio in Durham, NC.
