May 19th, 2023. Three-time Grammy nominated duo The Milk Carton Kids’ today release their new album I Only See The Moon via Far Cry Records in partnership with Thirty Tigers. Described by Americana UK as, “proof positive Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale are meant to play and sing together,” the album’s release comes alongside a sold-out headline show at London’s Union Chapel on Saturday, May 20. This will be the band’s first UK show in four years – last playing an acclaimed sold-out date at the Barbican in May 2019, described by The Times in a five-star review as “melancholy lyrics and vocal harmonies of breathtaking beauty”.

“Both of us have now lived enough life to understand that maybe one of the purposes we were put on Earth for is to sing together, to write songs together, to make music together,” notes guitarist/vocalist Pattengale. “It has truly provided a direction for our lives.” Bandmate Ryan adds, “It’s like a successful marriage in that there’s always been enough there between us collaboratively in the way that we work together, sing together, play together. It’s a very special thing. And I don’t think we ever took that for granted.”

Founded in 2011, The Milk Carton Kids swiftly emerged as a major force in the American folk tradition, blending ethereal harmonies and intricate musicianship with a uniquely powerful brand of contemporary songcraft. 2013’s ANTI- debut The Ash & Clay proved their national breakthrough, earning The Milk Carton Kids their first Grammy Award nomination for Best Folk Album. A second Grammy nomination for Best American Roots Performance followed in 2015 for the track “The City of Our Lady” from band’s acclaimed third studio album, Monterey, and 2018’s All The Things That I Did And All The Things That I Didn’t Do was nominated for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.

The band’s most recent album, 2019’s The Only Ones (out now via Far Cry Records in partnership with Thirty Tigers), was the subject of extensive praise, with Rolling Stone proclaiming that “Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan get back to the beautiful basics with The Only Ones,” while NPR’s “World Café” noted that “even though Joey and Kenneth are not related, their voices together create a sibling-like harmony...the duo has a strong sense of respect and reverence for the musical traditions that they've grown from.”
