Bent Branches are from Irvington, NY, and feature early-aught veterans, Kathy Horne (Gotobeds), Miyuki Furtado (Rogers Sisters), Jamie Williamson and Matt Svigals. Their unique brand of jangle pop can best be described as “…twangy, charmingly-fractured, cards-on-the-table roots rock ‘n roll. Romantic, open-road anthems for when the car is in the shop” (Nate K, WFMU).
Their debut effort, “Fake Adults,” is an honest four-banger EP about reckless youth, nostalgia, and what hurts the most. Earlier this year, they released a 2-song single, “Sundrenched” b/w This Time Around,” two raw ones that could make you cry if they weren’t so damn catchy.
Kathy Horne, guitar, vocals; Jamie Williamson, guitar, vocals; Miyuki Furtado, drums, vocals; Matt Svigals, bass
