Town Hall "sold me" with their acoustic re-interpretation (and the vocals trade-offs between Stefan Weiner and Phoebe Ryan) of Jimmy Eat World's "The Middle" and the band is playing a CD release show for their new EP "Sticky Notes & Paper Scraps" sometime next month. This new disc is a mellow "late night" listen that is powered by the two vocalists with instrumentation like mandolin and omnichord carefully woven in beneath the vocals. Most of the songs fall into the "alt-folk" genre but the exceptions are the Appalachian/alt-country track "Pandora" and the indie-pop of "Mary A. Longden".
Town Hall released a cover of Ja Rule and Ashanti's "Always on Time" earlier this week to celebrate Valentine's Day.
