Reservoir by Two Dark Birds
Reservoir is the fourth album from Two Dark Birds, the critically acclaimed band from The Catskill Mountains. These songs were written to accompany the audiobook version of Nina Shengold’s beautiful new memoir "Reservoir Year: A Walker’s Book of Day." We crafted a set of mostly instrumentals to match the vibe -- woody, watery, meditative, deeply Catskillian.
Recorded during the lockdown in of 2020, these mostly instrumental tracks were written and performed by Steve Koester with a crew of fine collaborators -- Jason Mills, Josh Roy Brown, Carrie Bradley Neves, Ben Wildenhaus, Ira Sebastian Elliot, Mark Rozzo, and Iris Koester.
The cover features a hand-tinted linocut by Carol Zaloom .
