2018 release. Trouble in the Wind has been labeled as folk, Americana, alternative, country, surf rock, etc., but the Southern California quartet likes to call themselves "rock and roll". The band's stripped-down organic sound is a multi-instrumental collective fronted by songwriter Robby Gira, whose staggering powerful voice creates the center of attention of their songs. The group's instrumentation of accordion, upright bass, brushes, banjo, pedal steel, and guitars color the emotional songs which blend and range from ballads to surf folk to soulful rockers.
