Forging a new acoustic sound that defies categorization while striking universal emotional chords, tin hat trio makes freewheeling chamber music for the 21st century. hailed by the new york press for the way it "mines a rare middle ground with a subtly insurgent slant" by "interweaving old world europe with postmodern america, south-of-the-border sensuality with concert-hall propriety and odd-metered syncopation with deeply soulful grooves," tin hat trio stands poised on the cusp of an original american ethnic music of its own device. book of silk is the band's second ropeadope recording and quite possibly it's most beautiful to date.
