about

Plant It or Build It is as much an homage to nature and travel as it is to the romance of songwriters David Pascoe and Laura Benson. Recorded mostly live in a converted home in Big Sur by Ky Takikawa (Moon Dog and the Astral Cats) and mastered by Adrian Dolan (The Wailin’ Jennys), the 10-track record doesn’t take long to welcome you in. Each deceptively simple song carries the listener through a full range of emotions and themes. The quartet’s skillful craftsmanship meets tender harmonies and potent lyrics that grapple with all the wonder, contradiction, and truth of living in the modern age.
