Charming Disaster - Cautionary Tales (2017)

Charming Disaster is the project of two New York based songwriters, Ellia Blisker and Jeff Moris. The duo makes heavily melodic folk music that is goth as hell In their new record, Cautionary Tales, we get to sit back and listen to a heavily eclectic narrative brew of music that opens with the duo meeting at a seance. The record is focused around the duo’s ability to harmonize off of each other. Blisker and Moris have distinctive and beautiful voices, when brought together the product is something really special. The harmonizing and melodic way of making music is brought out well by usage of finger picked guitar that bridges that gap between folk and blues, piano and the occasional strings. Cautionary Tales is exactly what the album titled indicates, this record is a collection of creative and fantastical tracks.
