Austin Sound

We can’t wait for Dana Falconberry’s new album, Oh, Skies of Grey, to drop at the end of next month. It’s the long awaited follow-up to her stellar debut EP, Paper Sailboat, and since then she has filled out her sound with help from the perfect harmonies of Gina Dvorak and Erika Maassen, and Andrew Bergmann’s upright bass.

The video is beautifully shot in black and white at a house here in Austin, and we dig the lazing dog in the side of the frame, which seems, along with Falconberry’s scuffed black boots, to just encompass everything we love about her music. Falconberry is currently up in New York for a month, but will be back mid-September to prep the album’s official release on the 30th.

We can’t wait for Dana Falconberry to release her follow up to 2006’s stunning Paper Sailboat EP. With that short album, Falconberry, also known for lending her dulcet tones to Peter and the Wolf’s Lightness, proved herself one of the most promising singer-songwriters in town. Her songs are rife with poetic emotion without being melodramatic, instead relying on the flexible power of her voice and beautifully poignant narratives as the backbone of her mesmerizing songs.
