Nice FolksBy Hiya SwanhuyserPublished on February 12, 2008 at 4:20amWho pushed the Everly Brothers in the dirt? If that famous 1960s ecstatic-tenor folk duo were to morph into something a little more bitter and crouchy, it could be the Moore Brothers, especially on "Girl with a Light," from their super-stripped-down album Murdered by the Moore Brothers on Plain Recordings. You can tell when a guitar is played by someone who is also singing, as it is here, passed back and forth between the two guys and often their only accompaniment. Word has it the pair has just moved to Nevada City from the Bay Area, maybe because Joanna Newsom shouted out their live show on Pitchfork. What's that you're wondering? Are they handsome? Why, yes: They look like someone pushed John Cusack in the dirt.
