These Are The Days That Turn Into Years - Pharis Romero / Romero,Jason [LP]

Pharis & Jason Romero's seventh studio record, These Are The Days That Turn In To Years, is a songwriter's deep exhale, replete with stories, love, and nostalgia. It's four years after the duo's banjo-heavy last release, and recorded in the same eclectically restored riverside barn in Horsefly, British Columbia. With Pharis' love of storytelling as a base for the duo's artistic connection, the songs are lush and saturated with their lives: incidental touring, raising two kids, making banjos, and playing this music because they must. The songs are created as much from ideas - from being on the tops of mountains and phone calls with aging loved ones to insomnia, meditation and family feuds - as they are from the joy of playing and recording with a stellar band: fiddle, bass, piano, and percussion. Two people in the thick of their lives, reveling in the music, words, and community.
