Sweet Old Religion

Description

The songs on Sweet Old Religion sparkle like stars. Together they form a constellation that tells an ancient and archetypal story visible to anyone who looks up at the sky on a summer night. And to all those who listen it whispers down below: “Slow down, dig deep, and love your neighbor.”
All originals, with light, love and time leading the themes, it’s a record that sounds like over a decade of playing and listening together. Part duets and part featuring guests, it’s Pharis & Jason at their very finest, their most open, and their most givin’ ‘er. Mostly recorded in Horsefly, BC by John Raham, with producer Marc Jenkins, musical guests and a choir of family & friends.

”There’s something ancient and aching about the Romeros, a sound that feels like a reverberation from the past, even as the songs are a perfect antidote to this sped-up, modern world. Sweet Old Religion is particularly good medicine” – No Depression

”beautifully crafted musicianship and singing” – Folk Radio UK

”Their collaboration is fueled by an intangible magic, the rare quality that makes a critic want to leave it at, “Just turn this album on; you’ll love it.” – Folk Alley
