Critically acclaimed folk duo The Milk Carton Kids are back with I Only See The Moon.
Produced by Kenneth Pattengale, this full-length album features a collection of timeless
and traditionalist tracks with hauntingly lovely and rich vocal melodies and lyrical content
spanning the themes of time, nostalgia, heartbreak, sadness, love, nature, grief, loss,
freedom, solitude, and relationships.
Founded in 2011, The Milk Carton Kids swiftly emerged as a major force in the American folk
tradition, blending ethereal harmonies and intricate musicianship with a uniquely powerful
brand of contemporary songcraft. 2013's ANTI- debut The Ash & Clay proved their national
breakthrough, earning The Milk Carton Kids their first Grammy Award nomination for Best
Folk Album. A second Grammy nomination for Best American Roots Performance followed
in 2015 for the track 'The City of Our Lady' from band's acclaimed third studio album,
Monterey, and 2018's All The Things That I Did And All The Things That I Didn't Do was
nominated for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
The band's most recent album, 2019's The Only Ones (out now via Far Cry Records in
partnership with Thirty Tigers), was the subject of extensive praise, with Rolling Stone
proclaiming that 'Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan get back to the beautiful basics with
The Only Ones,' while NPR's 'World Caf ' noted that 'even though Joey and Kenneth are
not related, their voices together create a sibling-like harmony...the duo has a strong sense
of respect and reverence for the musical traditions that they've grown from.'
