BIOGRAPHY

Folk of Flight is known as the foremost "indie acoustic folk-pop power-ballad duo" in existence. It all began when Seattle native Paul Ranheim and Nebraska born Karen Choi met while performing their contrasting styles in a St Louis venue. Two years later, Paul--the Norwegian adventurer and trainman--and Karen--the midwestern muser and philosopher--discovered how their co-writing and performing proved an effortless musical match. Marked by ingenuous lyrics overflowing through an emotionally wrought vocal collaboration, Folk of Flight sets the bar for "indie acoustic folk-pop power-ballad duos" everywhere.

Sessions: David Bazan

It was pretty slow. I mean, I played [the songs] on acoustic guitar for a long time, but I didn’t know how to transfer them to the other format. I didn’t want it to be a solo acoustic record. I wanted there to be bells and whistles and full band arrangements even if I didn’t want it necessarily to be electric guitar rock....
