Gwyneth & Monko are on the move in more ways than one.

Gwyneth & Monko’s self titled album came out Febraury 15, 2011 and reflects the style the pair has cultivated on the road: somewhere between folky acoustic and indie rock.

They can see snapshots of where we go and characters we meet along the way,” explains Moreland. You can view the tour journal at http://gwynethandmonko.blogspot.com/
