Simpatico on CD

Simpatico is the sophomore album from Golden Daze. As the long-player begins we hear dual singer-songwriters Jacob Loeb and Ben Schwab chanting the album's opening line in a unison so finely tuned it becomes impossible to differentiate their voices. "Blue Bell," this initial, inviting track, merges their separate identities so as to initiate the listener into their shared landscape - the troubled, hopeful world of Simpatico. Over a pair of softly hypnotic, interlocking guitars, the singers deliver their sentiment with an unbridled yearning, equal parts hopeful realization and admission of guilt.
