Country-tinged folk duo Dead Fingers is comprised of real-life indie rock sweethearts Taylor Hollingsworth and Kate Taylor—musicians known for their work with Saddle Creek-ers Conor Oberst and Maria Taylor's bands, respectively. But Dead Fingers' music, honest and sometimes painful, is more Johnny-and-June than M.-and-Zooey. The Birmingham, AL-based group is set to release Big Black Dog, its second LP, on July 15 via regional labels PIPEANDGUN/Communicating Vessels. It's a perfectly capable album full of slightly gritty but melodically sweet slice-of-life songwriting that will appeal to fans of Americana mainstays like The Civil Wars.
