Former ALIVE NATURALSOUND records artist Tyson Vogel, of TWO GALLANTS, has completed a new solo project for the label, titled Devotionals. The Two Gallants were formed in San Francisco in 2002, and their sound was a blend of rough folk/indie rock. Alive released their acclaimed debut "The Throes" in 2004, and a worldwide tour followed (US, Europe, Japan), along with two subsequent albums on Saddle Creek, "What The Toll Tells" in 2006, and "Two Gallants" in 2007, and an acoustic EP, "Scenery of Farewell". The Devotionals music is based around Tyson's guitar compositions, with Anton Patzner (Judgment Day, Bright Eyes) invigorating the musical space with his violin mastery, and they are joined by various guests and collaborators. The result is a unique combination of simplicity and raw emotion that will delight new and old fans of Two Gallants, a kind of street music with nods to Rachmaninov and John Fahey. The recording is entirely analog.
