The Montvales - Born Strangers (2024) Hi Res

Hailing from Knoxville, Tennessee, Folk-Country duo The Montvales have announced upcoming album Born Strangers, arriving February 2nd, 2024. The pair consists of Sally Buice and Molly Rochelson, and they’ve set out to create a “collection of songs for these uncertain times” which includes raising questions in their lyrics. Album single “Lou” is out now.

Born Strangers takes the duo a step into new territory with a full band of Nashville musicians; a departure from Heartbreak Summer Camp, The Montvales’ 2019 album that reunited the duo after Buice and Rochelson moved apart for some time.

The new direction was aided by producer Mike Eli LoPinto (guitarist for Chris Stapleton and co-writer and producer of Emily Nenni’s “On the Ranch”) who assembled a roster of session players at sound engineer Sean Sullivan’s Tractor Shed Studio.
