Jonathan Perry of the Boston Globe reviews Faces on Film's new album Some Weather. Perry compares Fiore to some of indie's greats by noting, "With his poetically opaque eye and a penchant for vocal reverb rivaled only by My Morning Jacket’s Jim James, Neko Case, and those dudes from Band of Horses, Fiore — a.k.a.

The Phoenix covers the highly anticipated, upcoming Juliana & Evan shows

The Boston Phoenix's article titled, "Dando and Hatfield rekindle a musical courtship" covers Juliana & Evan's musical past together, and outlines their careers as successful solo artists.  The article goes on to mention how both musicians inspired each other in the start of their careers and are now re-kindling the artistic process by hitting the road for this current "mini-tour".  Their Nov. 1st show at Great Scott is currently sold out, but tickets are still available for their Nov. 2nd show here.  I suggest you get your tickets as soon as possible because you never know if this duo will couple up on stage again any time soon. Read the Phoenix article on Juliana & Evan here.
