The first single from the self-titled debut by Australian alt-country duo, Eagle & The Wolf.
“Two of Australia’s finest singer-songwriters, indie-pop goddess Sarah Humphreys and alt-country troubadour Kris Morris, met, fell in love and now they’re making they’re making beautiful folk music together as Eagle & The Wolf. The project is in its infancy but they’ve already secured a major tour, Eagle and the Wolf is the perfect example of a coming together of artists whose sum is great than it’s parts. Alt-country singer-songwriter Kris Morris and indie-folk chanteuse Sarah Humphreys are both celebrated artists in their own right , but this EP has elevated them to a new level. Humphreys’ voice seems to have been unshackled and is out in full force. Morris’ guitar work is pitch perfect – blistering in the bluesier numbers and restrained in the ballads. At only 5 tracks the self titled Eagle & The Wolf is the perfect taster for a partnership that has a big future ahead of it.
We recorded our album mostly live in September, 2015 over three beautiful days at an old farmhouse in the southern highlands. Syd Green is our producer, drummer, friend and engineer. He did wonderful things and we loved working with him on this always special, often magical project of ours.
This song is called ‘When The Love Has Died’ and it is about a relationship that needed to come to an end not out of deep sorrow or hatred, but simply because it was time.
