Tinges of Americana stand side-by-side with the ghosts of Eastern European fddle tunes and ancient a cappella ballad singing, melding into an unusually accessible dark-folk sound on Mama's Broke 'Narrow Line', now available on vinyl

Canadian folk duo Mama's Broke has spent the past seven years in a nearconstant state of transience, pounding the transatlantic tour trail. They've brought their dark, fery folk- without- borders sound to major festivals and DIY punk houses alike, absorbing traditions from their maritime home in Eastern Canada, all the way to Ireland and Indonesia along the way. Nowhere is the duo's art-inmotion approach more apparent than on their long- awaited sophomore record 'Narrow Line'; it's the sound of nowhere in particular, yet woven with a rich synthesis of infuences that knows no borders. The eleven songs on 'Narrow Line' burrow deeply, with close harmony duets, commanding vocals, and poignant contemplations on cycles of life, including birth and death. A careful listen of 'Narrow Line' invokes an ephemeral sense of place—whether real or imagined— inviting us to take comfort in the infnite possibilities of life, whether or not we ever choose to settle down.
