The Lay Awakes is a New York duo, Anna Paddock and Patrick Anderson, with Canadian roots. Their self-titled EP release offers easy to listen to vocal harmonies one could easily expect to hear on the radio while sipping coffee in a trendy café.

As much as I liked listening to the lyrics and harmonies, I also really appreciated the detail that went into the production of this release. There is nothing better than listening to well produced, engineered, mixed and mastered music.

I usually list three standout songs, but for this EP I can’t decide which ones I liked best. You’ll have to give it a listen and decide yourself.
