Gawain and The Green Knight are a homemade valentine to that cute ghost in your attic. A Brooklyn-based duo (made up of married couple Alexia Antoniou and Mike O'Malley), Gawain and the Green Knight uses guitar and Irish bouzouki to play songs that use characters from history "to act out timeless joys, regrets, and longings," as described by Taylor Ruckle of The All-Scene Eye. They are here to sing about their affection for humanity and their healthy fear of death, and to cradle these songs in lovingly arranged chamber folk.
