Folk: Wild Child - "The Tale Of You & Me"

 Here is another SXSW gem for ya.  Austin-Based six-piece Wild Child has been making some well earned ripples in the folk music pond.  Their sound is similar to Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, using back and forth banter and singing between the male and female lead singers.  Here's a nice excerpt of an amazing review of their debut album Pillow Talk (available at Bandcamp) and track "The Tale Of You & Me" by The Music Ninja:

"Their debut album ‘Pillow Talk’ (mastered by grammy-winning engineer Erik Wofford) is about the journeys of modern romance and the fortifying love of two people deeply united. With every song you get a new story told entirely different and yet able to express the exact same emotions that two people can feel true love. ‘The Tale Of You & Me’ happens to be the last track on the album, and one of the most powerful. The playful tongue-n-cheek lyrics, flirt-ful banter and a surprising background choir rising to the occasion, fill the song with an uncompromising childlike joy, similar to two hearts reunited once again."
