Ivan Howard and Kelly Crisp managed to do the impossible on their fifth album Loud Planes Fly Low: forge beauty out of the crumbling pieces of their failing marriage. Following 2009’s Life Like, the couple faced the difficult reality of an increasingly successful musical partnership while their personal relationship faltered. What results is a deeply introspective and emotional but accessible ten tracks set to rock, soul and R&B. Loud Planes Fly Low is a real gem; standouts include opener “Go Ahead”, “A Story”, “Without a Focus”, and closer “Worthwhile.” – Written by JFelton
