Callers - Fortune

Genre :Soul / Folk. The 11 songs on Fortune channel a temporal sense of place and hope over despair. Featured Artists : Sara Lucas: Guitar, Vocals / Ryan Seaton: Guitar, Vocals, and Saxophone / Dan Godwin: Drums, Horns / Gus Martin: Drums, Upright Bass. Throughout the album Sara Lucas' voice and Ryan's Seaton's guitar are seamlessly interwoven, creating a haunting and soulful kind of magic.  With the wounded perseverance of Karen Carpenter and the vulnerable, tough-as-nails courage and acceptance of Heart's Ann Wilson, Sara Lucas' voice is rich and unforgettable.  Seaton's guitar work is equally engaging, as he masterfully delivers beautiful and unusual chords, gritty distortion, and even intricate flourishes that call to mind the ever-impressive Tinariwen. Much more than the sum of it's parts, Fortune reacquaints listeners with sentiments personal and familiar, be they flourishing or fallow, as it uses the local to express the universal.   These are songs that embed themselves deep within the listener, with an immediate and tangible humanity...like something that was always there, or should have been. Callers have performed live at/with  Dan Deacon, Akron Family, Citay, Dirty Projectors, Vetiver, Keith Fullerton Whitman, Mi and L'au, Larkin Grimm, Alec K Redfearn and The Eyesores, and many more.... "Thank god for Callers grounding Brooklyn music. I've never seen a show like that one in NYC. The music was nothing I've heard before but then again it was so steeped in songs of old. Sara Lucas's voice is my favorite female voice right now; strong and....yes...pretty. – Monica Moynihan (Naked Heroes) "If sultry, folky soul sounds like your idea of heaven, you won't want to miss...Callers." – Got Poetry.com "Callers play with a fully human dynamic range, original and yet from a place that is strangely familiar. a spiritual experience." – Autry Fulbright of Shock Cinema.
