Literate, vibrant music that surprises and stirs is the hallmark of The Gray Havens, a band that centers around the husband and wife duo David and Licia Radford. Their songs spring from the pages of books and the everyday moments of life and are as likely to leave the listener pondering a deep mystery as celebrating a simple pleasure.
Blue Flower, the duo’s fifth studio release, explores a soul-deep place of mysterious, inconsolable longing. The engaging songs give this longing a name and usher the listener from a long winter to a bright summer. Blue Flower is fertile ground for wonder and joy and launches The Gray Havens’ rich song-craft to new heights.
Since their story began in 2012, The Gray Havens have evolved from a “narrative-pop-folk” duo to a band continually experimenting with pop and cinematic elements which, ultimately, has defined a musical atmosphere that’s all their own.
