Key Wilde & Mia Clarke
Pleased to Meet You ($13)
Like my grandmother told me once (or maybe a million times), everything old becomes new again. That’s the wonder of spring. With perfect timing and their modern-bluegrass style, Key Wilde & Mr Clarke make me want to pack my Huck Finn hobo bag and hike through blooming fields. “Railroad Medley” captures the feel of iconic railway songs, while the surfy sounds of “Raised By Trolls” channels Monty Python’s Flying Circus. “Wander Round the World” is evidence of Wilde and Clarke’s continuing advancement of the folk genre, complete with the requisite mandolin and—my favorite— a fiddle solo. There’s something splendid about the simplicity and the space in this duo’s music. Available May 15.
