Alternately explosive and restrained, the aptly titled The Bloom and the Blight is a meditation on past and present - melodic fury matched with the eloquent, confessional lyricism that has made Two Gallants an enduring favorite of both fans and critics. Capturing the sound of a new beginning, the duo's ATO Records debut The Bloom and the Blight celebrates the band's much anticipated reunion following a multi-year break. It is the work of Two Gallants, fully matured, the band fearlessly exploring new ground in search of a sound that defines a very personal catharsis. That approach includes everything from the distorted ferocity of "Halcyon Days" to the heart-wrenching acoustic ballad, "Sunday Souvenirs." Songs like "Ride Away" boast all the prowling, anthemic strut of classic metal; while tracks like "Winter's Youth" start sweet and sad, than shatter into huge and heavy choruses. The album's first single, "Broken Eyes," has already become a crowd favorite with its raw, aching harmonies and weeping harmonica. Friends since they were five, the band grew up playing music together, from early teen-age house parties in their hometown of San Francisco, to multiple world tours. Throughout their extensive travels over the past 8 years - including recent tours through China and South Korea - Two Gallants have continued to evolve, both musically and personally.
