Kennedys

Closer Than You Know

On their new release, "Closer Than You Know," The Kennedys strike out into new territory, this time inspired by a sojourn in Paris, where they immersed themselves in the turn of another century, the time when Debussy and Ravel were inventing the sonic palette of modern music. No strangers to reinvention, Pete and Maura came up with a cappuccino-fueled concept at a small cafe in Montmartre: music inspired by the Impressionist composers, married to the rock and pop sounds for which the duo have long been known. In the spirit of Paris-trained composer Burt Bacharach and his lyricist partner Hal David, Pete took on the task of creating musical landscapes that would cushion Mauras lyrics and bell-like harmonies. The songs have a quality, inherent in Mauras voice, that is both soothing and urgent. As writers and producers, the Kennedys continue to mature, from their early style-conscious pop to todays burnished sheen. Always tuned to their own muse, Pete and Maura have once again come up with a unique sound that is as uplifting as it is unclassifiable
