Brilliant band The Montvales has shared their delightful debut album “Heartbreak Summer Camp.”
The track “Ain't it Time to Learn” showcases a vulnerable side of the duo’s music. It’s a song about a broken heart and painful experience that sounds very genuine and relatable. The banjo and guitar lines slowly glide together, creating breathtaking sonic waves, while the gorgeous vocals tell the story. With this wonderful work, The Montvales proves to be one of the most charming new bands. - Tonic Grain
Some of us have such a deep aching in our chests it nearly rips us apart. And that pang entices us to bound away across county and state lines, hitting up the open road for some solace and piece of mind. Whatever that might be, we follow a muse. Eventually, we may even wander back into those barriers that once felt suffocating. Folk duo The Montvales express their own journey, tangled lines and various trajectories they’ve trekked through the years, in and out of Knoxville. “It’s a big ole world / Oh, but we’ll work with what we got,” the pair sing, voices intertwined. It’s both imprinted with longing and pleasure in knowing they’ve done all they could to live a life worth living. - B-Sides and Badlands
There’s something to be said for simplicity in songwriting and The Montvales, a duo from Knoxville, Tennessee, have captured the essence of melody and feel on their new bluegrass/folk single ‘Oh Louise‘. The catchiness comes from their sweet vocal interplay and banjo playing that provides the rhythm, swing and highly hummable melodies. - Post to Wire
