Married duo the Sawtelles are a balance of four elements, guitar predominantly in alternate tunings, various drum kit configurations, and two voices. Sparse but intricately arranged pop that is as lush as it is threadbare makes what is played as important as what isn’t. The Sawtelles are looking forward to being back at NFM this season, and we are happy to have them!
