The Wingdale Community Singers

The Wingdale Community Singers feature the bookish singer-songwriters Hannah Marcus and David Grubbs, plus singin' author Rick Moody. The combined SAT score of the group presumably hovers near that of the London Philharmonic, but rarely are the Wingdales crippled by cerebral airs. As heard on the new Night, Sleep, Death, the group's brand of offbeat chamber folk is amiable and gently elegant.
