Here’s a fun tidbit about Viva Voce:
“Kevin [Robinson] has spent time producing and recording bands like Tu Fawning and Thao with The Get Down Stay Down. Anita [Robinson] sang harmonies on The Shins’ Wincing the Night Away album, and performed with them on SNL and on tour. With Blue Giant, Kevin and Anita made it a habit to incorporate a broad cast of Portland musicians to their live ensemble – and now the Viva Voce band itself has grown, as Kevin and Anita have welcomed Corrina Repp and Evan Railton to the official line-up.”

I really like what I’ve heard of this album so far. Dig this band a lot. Underrated, as well, for that matter.
Agreed, this band is lovely.
