Attending their show, I learned the band of two met in a high school Latin class; from their music, I reconfirmed my love-affair with females lyrisicts whose vocal range dips a few touches lower than the highest. Listeners will discover lyrics intellectually satisfying and true to the heart, even if enigmatic. The most salient features of Sales' sound are the guitar and drums - the latter, I discovered at their show, had been done in a studio (perhaps on a computer). Most of the burden of guitar is carried gracefully by lead singer, Lauren Morgan, who layers guitar solos atop a voice salted with a pinch of rasp. I have to guess that Justin Shih - adding virtually no vocals but rhythm guitar - creates samples (whose complexity belies a depth of understanding of both beats and the tools that create them). Heard on Spotify, the band sounds as if comprised of at least three members; standing before them, I was pleasantly surprised to see it was just the two of them, on stage strumming and singing. Sales hails from Orlando, FL.
