Cousin Curtiss is a powerhouse duo delivering a high-voltage blend of roots rock, blues, and Americana that hits like Mumford & Sons meets AC/DC. Together, Cousin Curtiss, wielding rapid-fire acoustic guitar, incendiary harmonica, and a cannon of a kick drum, and guitarist Harrison B, whose tone channels David Gilmour’s atmosphere and Gary Clark Jr.’s grit, create a two-man wall of sound. Raw, soulful, and relentlessly energetic. “Blues at bluegrass speeds,” “rock Americana with a soulful drip”—whatever you call it, Cousin Curtiss and Harrison B don’t just play music; they ignite it and bring it to life.
Between his work fronting TK & The Holy Know-Nothings and his 2017 solo debut Wannabe, Kingman is no stranger to the darkness. But here he transcends the desolate rock bottom, as Hollow Sound whispers, then howls us into that place beyond brokenness where breathing begins again. To listen deeply to these songs is to lay down naked on the wet, unforgiving earth, pushing the ground through your fingers; it is to be soothed by the wholeness of who we are, filth and all. Kingman pulls no punches with his writing, and requires us to listen with the same honesty.
