Moments In Between, the third release by The Hollering Pines, conjures a new sonic weather for the Salt Lake Americana band. With its layered atmospheres, uncommon rhythmic textures, and carefully crafted songs, Moments In Between expands upon the band's previous work, drawing a line from the windswept soundscapes of Daniel Lanois to the openhearted, sometimes melancholy, melodicism of Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen.
Tracked mostly live on the floor of June Audio (Provo, UT) with additional sessions at Orchard Studios (North Salt Lake, UT), Moments In Between was engineered, mixed, and co-produced by Scott Wiley. Sisters Marie Bradshaw (guitar, vocals) and Kiki Jane Sieger (bass guitar, vocals) knit their voices in the long tradition of harmonizing sisters, with the instrumental backing of; Dylan Schorer (Electric Guitar, 12-String Electric Guitar, Baritone Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Piano) M. Horton Smith (Mandolin, Electric Guitar, Mando Guitar, Tenor Guitar, Baritone Guitar, Cello, Piano) and Daniel Young (Drums, Percussion).
With guest players and masters of pedal steel, Greg Leisz and Gary Morse, these aromotic, ambient tunes rise from a desert straightaway where every pair of surprised headlights could be a spaceship or a marauding angel.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
NO DEPRESSION"What I love most about this band is the way they fit together. Lead vocalists Marie Bradshaw and Kiki Jane Sieger trade harmonies like they’ve been doing it their whole lives — which makes sense, since they’re sisters. Their interplay reminds me of early Mount Moriah. The music is dense and layered but glides smoothly. The rest of the band is a tight unit as well, cruising through swing, ballads, and rockers with confidence and grace. This is what a good old bar band should sound like: expert music that’ll keep you tapping your feet, drinking, and maybe a little crying." - Rachel Cholst "'These Walls' is an album highlight with an exquisite tune, harmony vocals and pedal steel. Strings provide a lush bed on which the ladies advise of their doubts over a long-term love. In fact you’d be searching your pockets for loose change to play this again on the honky tonk’s jukebox. Sublime". - Tony Ives, Americana Music Show "The songs’ lyrics are poetic in their depiction of everyday life, the kind found at the bottom of a bottle, in a smoky bar or at the end of a lonely dirt road. Plaintive songs such as “Rainy Day Woman,” about loving someone through the hard-luck times as well as the good, and “Oh Mama,” about an adult woman meeting the mother who abandoned her when she was a child, are masterfully crafted with evocative lyrics that could make Lucinda Williams pull out a hankie." - Kolbie Stonehocker, City Weekly "As the co-frontwomen of The Hollering Pines, Utah-based sisters Kiki Jane Sieger and Marie Bradshaw bring what their bio calls "blood tight harmonies" to the potent Americana and alt-country songs on their self-penned debut album Long Nights, Short Lives and Spilled Chances (out now). And once you hear their entwined vocals it's hard to argue otherwise. Backed by drummer/backing vocalist Daniel Young and fine guitarist Dylan Schorer, Kiki Jane (now that's a name) and Marie rustle up overtones of Gillian Welch and Lucinda Williams, sweetly turned roadhouse balladry infused with a mellow country twang and Schorer's stark, lap-steel guitar moans. Even a song titled "Rock and Roll" becomes a roadhouse jukebox slow dance. Loverly stuff. Click through below for a listen to "Oh Mama" - Direct Current Music "Local band The Hollering Pines are made up of the sister-sister vocal act of Kiki Jane Sieger and Marie Bradshaw on guitar and bass guitar, respectively, along with drummer and singer Daniel Young, and Dylan Schorer on electric guitar. Together, they have created an entrancing narrative about long nights, short lives and spilled chances—hence the title of the album. Long Nights was recorded live in Provo, Utah. It is characterized by upbeat and bluesy tracks like “Cadillac” and more old-country and modern folk songs like “Something on My Mind.” It may be the haunting poetic lyrics, or the cool, collective twang, but either way, these country folk are sure to keep your foot bouncing and your head swaying from start to finish." – Lizz Corrigan, Slug Magazine "Sisters Kiki Jane Sieger and Marie Bradshaw head up this catchy, crooning local band that distinguishes itself with a delightful touch of country twang. The Americana-inspired tracks of The Hollering Pines album "Long Nights, Short Lives and Spilled Changes" are filled with electric and lap steel guitar and perfect harmonies." - NewsCastic.com |
COUNRY MUSIC PEOPLE"The Hollering Pines are a wonderful, hot new country band, who have created a superb debut album, which should make many country fans happy. Best of all The Hollering Pines have two exciting female country singers, who maybe destined for big things. The songwriting on the CD [Long Nights, Short Lives & Spilled Chances] is of a very high standard." Paul Riley, Country Music People "Everything sisters Marie Bradshaw and Kiki Jane Sieger touch turns to gold, as vocalists in their former acoustic outfit The Folka Dots and, now, in electric Americana/roots quartet The Hollering Pines. Taking their band name from a song by folk singer Gillian Welch, The Hollering Pines draw influence from country greats like Hank Williams and The Louvin Brothers. Well-known local musicians Daniel Young (of the now-disbanded The Trappers) and The Lower Lights’ Dylan Schorer complete the lineup, adding drums, harmonica, dobro, lap steel and more to Bradshaw and Kiki Sieger's guitar/bass foundation. The Hollering Pines’ debut full-length album, Long Nights, Short Lives & Spilled Chances—released in September—was one of 2013’s best albums. Utah is lucky these country crooners haven’t decided to fly away to Nashville (yet)." - Kolbie Stonehocker, City Weekly "The Hollering Pines' album Long Nights, Short Lives and Spilled Chances is full of lessons and musings on love and the hardships we all face day to day within ourselves and with those we know and love. Our Soundwaves host, Dan Nailen is privy to the raw, untethered emotion that The Hollering Pines possess with their breathtaking interpretation of the Americana genre." - Soundwaves From The Underground Listen to Episode Here "You might not yet know the name The Hollering Pines, but chances are you’ve heard the members of the band play at some point or another if you spend much time seeing live music in Utah. It’s particularly true if you’re a fan of heartfelt country, folk and rock, as well as angelic harmonies. The band is made up of sisters Kiki Jane Sieger and Marie Bradshaw, formerly of long-running fave The Folka Dots, on guitar and bass and those mesmerizing harmonies, as well as Daniel Young on drums and vocals and guitar ace Dylan Schorer coloring around the edges with his stabbing electric and smooth lap-steel guitar. In the past several months, they’ve shared stages with fellow roots-based acts like Dwight Yoakam, Neko Case and Dave Alvin, and the honing of their chops comes through on their debut album, Long Nights, Short Lives and Spilled Chances." - Dan Nailen, slcene.com Hear Dan Talk The Hollering Pines on KUER |
