Louisville pop rock trio Twin Limb will take the stage at The Burl on Sunday, Nov. 6 for a night of dreamy, melodic sounds in support of their new, first full-length album Haplo.

Twin Limb began as a duo of friends Lacey Guthrie and Maryliz Bender combining catalogued music and creating what would be the beginnings of the band.  Before coming together, the two had their own separate solo work and were eager to get together to collaborate. Guthrie showed her accordion work and Bender naturally started to play her drums along.

“We looked each other up on SoundCloud and listened to each other’s recordings,” said Guthrie. “We got together probably less than a week later and played for hours, smashing our songs together.”

In around 2014, the band began recording the album at Kevin Ratterman’s studio La La Land in Louisville.  Since then, Ratterman has become an extra limb in the final evolution of the band.  The addition was another natural happenstance as Guthrie plays her entranced accordion, Bender does most of the guitar and vocal work and Ratterman’s role is described as “miscellaneous sonic sorcery” on the band’s Facebook.

“He allows us to experiment more with layering sounds that are atmospheric, so that’s super exciting,” said Guthrie. “We just have more hands of another brain… I rarely have anything to say about what he’s doing sonically.”

Haplo is an album of psychedelic and symbiotic, yet fulfilled sounds that come together to create a resolution in all the uncertainty the music bares. The record begins with the slow, wistful stretch of Guthrie’s accordion on the album opener “Long Shadow.”

After putting off the release of the debut album to explore their sound with Ratterman, Twin Limb released their Anything Is Possible and Nothing Makes Sense EP that had previewed the direction the band was taking with their traditional experimental pop/folk sound.  Now, their shows reveal a progressively louder direction.

“At our earlier shows, we played together as a duo for a year.  We didn’t have a huge following,” said Guthrie.  “I would say [our live show] is different…It’s not quiet. Before we were playing smaller rooms in restaurants. Our footprint wasn’t very big and our volume wasn’t very loud.”

With their shows no longer “stripped down” compared to their early days, the band has now commanded the attention of the indie music world and music blogs across the country.

In addition to riding the high of releasing their anticipated new album, the band will be opening and playing as the backing band for Louisville’s own Jim James of My Morning Jacket fame, in support of his new solo album Eternally Even.  James has long let his fandom of the Louisville music scene be known, but Guthrie describes him as not only a fan, but also a friend.

“[Jim] and Kevin have been playing together for years on solo stuff.  He asked us to open and we’re playing as his backing band too, plus a couple of other people,” said Guthrie.  “We get to play for like three hours and that’s awesome.”

Guthrie said after touring with James, they would most likely hit the festival circuit in the spring and summer.
