Langtry is the project of guitarist Patrick McKinney. Around the same time he was playing with Sam Beam in Iron and Wine (either alongside or as an opening act), he cut a solo CD of acoustic Americana influenced instrumentals to great reviews. He has since expanded that into an ever evolving full band. Elements of the acoustic Americana were augmented with distorted guitars, violin, and stand up bass; and drums. Since this song was recorded, Langtry has been recording music with more of an Asian feel and experimenting with glockenspiel, hammered dulcimer, and a toy piano. Patrick says he likes music that always surprises. He is joined here by longtime collaborator Lee Folmar on guitar and vocals, Shelley Weiss on violin, Clayton Rychlik on drums, and Jared Fowler on bass. Patrick plays guitar and banjo, and sings.
