You can listen and download our full length album for free on http://noisetrade.com/thelikesofus The sweet musical cartel that is The Likes of Us began as a long distance collaboration between Oklahoma native Benj Heard and Colorado songbird Katrina Stone. As the story goes, the pair stumbled upon an affinity for writing 1940's inspired duets through the process of sending tracks back and forth over the course of a year. Without truly recognizing the depth of the sonic landscape they had created, The Likes of Us was formed as charmingly as the harmonies and lyrics that waltz through the valleys of their debut album. The self-titled album from the crooning duo plays like a narrative from a nearly forgotten era, yet entices the ears of the current generation with their smokey voices and universal themes of love and life. From the cleverly romantic waltz Astronomy to the bluegrass-infused toe-tapping Smooth Moving, The Likes of Us is storming onto the scene with a fully produced set of songs that engages the senses and emotions. With lyrics like "Honey, love is stronger than fear. I hear that train coming, but my heart's still running to you" ...the pair makes it known that this record is a delightful and enchanting force to be reckoned with. The witty and upbeat ditty entitled No Cure For Love written with Mikal Blue (Colbie Caillat, Jason Mraz) showcases Heard's exceptional vocal range and sweet tone while Stone's personality and vocal control soar from line to line. From start to finish, this pair's debut project is a beautiful allegory of what patience, fortitude, and raw talent can imagine when in the hands of fate.
