North Carolina by Lee and Willbee

“This is the softest weave of jilted love you might ever wrap yourself in. Expansive, fearless, confused and sweet these songs are honest enough about love, drugs, and life in the modern broken-horse malaise to not wander too long in any genre comfortably. Combining country, folk, rock, electronic and even a healthy, while measured, extract of the warmest nodes of that great taboo yacht rock this Lee & Wilbee collection of songs called “North Carolina” promises and delivers that kind of self-medicated transcendentalism that you wake up to one morning and try to scrub off for the rest of your life. Fortunately for the listener, Lee & Wilbee have turned this caustic pill into poetry and elevating melodies, which, just like the first moments of young love, is the perfect pitch to deliver the hard realities lying just below the sea level of life.

There’s only two places where you’ll find the kind of complex and conflicting resolutions spun into the songs of this Lee & Wilbee album: in the morning, on a cold beach, after a 3 day bender where you tried with every chemical at your disposal to bleed the memory of that crazy x-girlfriend from your nervous system or here, on this amazing collection of Lee & Wilbee tracks. “
