Natalie Cressman & Ian Faquini - Setting Rays Of Summer (2019)

The pair recorded the album at Natalie’s dad’s studio in San Francisco — Cressman Music Studios. Cressman and Faquini tracked the LP almost entirely live in one room together, with few overdubs. “With the release, we hope people will respond to the honesty and intimacy of this music,” Natalie and Ian said in a statement. “We hope that the songs resonate with people on an emotional level as they experience new stories and new styles of Brazilian music and that they will find the simplicity of two instruments and two voices making music together to be a welcome change from the majority of music made today.”
