An underground, nostalgic americana act.
The Binoculars, of Brooklyn, New York, is the duo of longtime pals Kaethe Hostetter and Chloë Swantner. They gather and resuscitate long lost tunes from around the world using fiddle, 5-string violin, guitar, lap steel, and laser vocal harmonies. Their repertoire spans myriad genres, dusting off 1950’s New Mexican mazurkas and American country duets, Ethiopian folk tunes and roadhouse noir b-sides. They revel in the spirit of musical hand me downs and delight in serenading an intimate audience.
The Binoculars play an eclectic blend of Americana and folk music, incorporating elements of traditional fiddle tunes, country duets, and international folk traditions.
The Brooklyn-based duo consists of musicians Kaethe Hostetter and Chloë Swantner.
