Completing their seventh studio album was a hard-won victory for The Milk Carton Kids, but I Only See the Moon was worth the effort for Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan. What started as a three-week recording session in the fall of 2021, with Pattengale producing the contemporary folk duo himself for the first time, stretched into a months- long project that found the pair digging deeper into their craft than ever before. With a new studio of their own in Los Angeles and the realization that they were in no hurry, The Milk Carton Kids took the time they needed to be fully satisfied with I Only See the Moon. The three-time Grammy nominees sound refreshed on 10 new songs distilled to the essence of The Milk Carton Kids: two voices blended together in spellbinding harmony, accompanied by subtly perfect acoustic instrumentation. Turns out that's a tough sound to get just right, but I Only See the Moon shows just how much Pattengale and Ryan were willing to work for it.
I hope these young men come back to Toronto soon. The combination of musicianship, humor and self deprecation is brilliant. Great to hear and see them in this size theater! I went with my 16 year old daughter and her friend and loved that the audience had a wide range of ages.
First time seeing them live - didn't disappoint - music was excellent exactly what you'd expect based on performances posted online and in the "inside llewyn Davis documentary". Witty banter between songs was also entertaining and welcomed.
The Milk Carton Kids were everything I had hoped they would be. The show was unpretentious, the humour was great, the music phenomenal... I heard every song I hoped to, and then some! The purest musical experience I've had in some long time. Well worth the 4 hour drive and a night in a hotel.
