██ ░▄
██│ Bet On Love, the fifth record from two-time Juno Award winners, Pharis
██│ and Jason Romero, is a modern folk ode to self-love, small towns, and
██│ new days. Recorded in their banjo shop outside the small Northern town
██│ of Horsefly, British Columbia, with the help of producer Marc Jenkins
██│ (who produced their Juno-winning 2018 record Sweet Old Religion), the
██│ album is quite literally home grown. The songs on Bet On Love, coming
██│ May 15, 2020, are inspired by the land the Romeros live on and the
██│ lifestyle they have chosen to lead, focused on balance, simplicity and
██│ intention. Add in a bustling boutique banjo business and the raising of
██│ two young children with the busy life of active musicians, and the
██│ balancing act itself becomes an art form.
██│
██│ From the outside, this existence drips with romanticism. Two people in
██│ love, building banjos and rearing children by day while writing and
██│ performing intimate music by night. Yet on the inside this deceptively
██│ simple, elegant life is only made possible by applying an acute
██│ dedication to life and art, form and function, music and family. The
██│ same focus that has made Pharis & Jason Romero two of the best
██│ instrument builders in the world is brought to bear on mastering the
██│ acoustic tones of their recorded music. Their new album shines with
██│ life, reflecting a deep sense of love and community. Their unique world
██│ gently offers up tone and song, bound together in music of transcendent
██│ beauty.
██│
██│ The title track from the album features the most personal song Pharis
██│ Romero has ever penned and this intimacy reverberates throughout the
██│ 11-track record. ôNew Dayö and ôRight in the Gardenö sound like songs
██│ she might sing to her childrenûsoft, warm and full of lightûwhile ôWe
██│ All Fallö carries a gentle lesson. With exceptional control, range, and
██│ vocal clarity, Pharis voice soars above these tracks, joined in
██│ exquisite, lush harmony with Jason Romero. His calm and slightly
██│ weathered voice drifts over songs of journey and heartbreak, their
██│ vocals weaving and intertwining like branches on the willows that hang
██│ over the creek outside their door. PharisÆ songwriting draws from folk
██│ wellsprings as well as deep American and Canadian roots. A lifelong
██│ student and teacher of these roots, Pharis writes songs that seem old
██│ but echo with an ease and simplicity that belies their construction.
██│ Jason contributes the sublime instrumental composition ôNew Caledonia,ö
██│ played (along with ôRoll On My Friendö) on his handmade gourd banjo,
██│ and redolent of the Baroque complexity of early Norman Blake. In a
██│ salute to the sound of old-time country music they revere so much, many
██│ of the microphones used are as vintage as they are beautiful, with ôA
██│ Bit Old Schoolö being sung and played face-to-face through a ribbon RCA
██│ microphone from the 1940s. Also in line with this stripped-down,
██│ traditional approach, the songs, including those featuring guest
██│ musicians Patrick Metzger (bass) and John Reischman (mandolin), were
██│ all recorded live on acoustic instruments. The end result is rich vocal
██│ and instrumental soundscape of an album as deceptively simple and clear
██│ as the life that inspired it.
██│
██│ In the end, Pharis and Jason Romero choose the unconventional ù touring
██│ selectively with two small kids, making banjos in the woods, recording
██│ at home in the winter ù and they live and sing about those choices with
██│ vibrancy and an elite skill set honed through decades of dedication.
██│ Their songs are an expression of a hope found in the resilience of
██│ community, and of a love born from family, united in the melodies of
██│ life.
