Hobbyhorse Starts Burning Up The Airwaves

San Francisco Bay area, folk/rock duo Hobbyhorse‘s album “Break In the Clouds” has been burning up the broadcast airwaves, with stations in Canada, Australia and across the US playing their unique mix of psychedelic folk/rock. The album was also recently picked as Release of the Month September 2007 by Seldom Heard Radio.

“This wonderful album opens with the swirling sustain of an organ, lilting percussion (bodhran?) quiet, precise guitar and earthy vocals & builds from there. Traditional in one sense, quietly experimental in others, Hobbyhorse’s Break in the Clouds embodies the magic that is woven in the art of folk music – and by folk music I mean music that is authentic, spirited & manifest from the love of creation rather than ‘music industry’ profit motive. Each song is a delight of discovery.” Seldom Heard Radio

* CKCU FM 93.1 in Ottawa Canada, Iron Maidens, hosted by DD Rocker
