This collection of instrumental duets captures a moment in the decades-long musical dialogue between Mulvey and Goodrich.  Over the years, their relationship as co-writers, accompanists, and performers has centered on this kind of presence, spontaneity, and good humor.  Plenty of that is on display in this grouping of eight original tunes, two traditional Americana pieces, two Hoagy Carmichael classics, and a Tom Waits melody wrangled onto the banjo.

Recorded in just two days at Signature Sounds Studios in the woods of Connecticut, the vibe of this record is summed up in the first liner note: "This is what we sound like when we're the only people listening."
