We Brave Bee Stings and All

Thao & the Get Down Stay Down

Twitchy, rhythmic indie folk driven by percussive banjo and breathy, syncopated vocals. A restless blend of D.C. punk energy and intimate acoustic warmth.

January 29, 2008 · Kill Rock Stars

A restless, rhythmic blend of vulnerability and kinetic energy that feels both intimate and urgent.

Moments Worth Listening For

The way the drums kick into a hip-hop-influenced shuffle on 'Bag of Hammers' while the banjo stays relentlessly on the beat.

The sudden, bright burst of horns that elevates the chorus of 'Big Kid Table' into a celebratory anthem.

The intimate, almost whispered vocal opening of 'Feet Asleep' that feels like someone speaking directly into your ear.
