Milk Carton KIds, The - I Only See the Moon LP

Completing their seventh studio album was a hard-won victory for The Milk Carton Kids, but I Only See the Moon was worth the effort for Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan. "It feels like returning to something that's natural and comfortable, and also just as inspiring and new as when we first met," says Pattengale, who formed The Milk Carton Kids with Ryan in 2011. What started as a three-week recording session in the fall of 2021, with Pattengale producing the contemporary folk duo himself for the first time, stretched into a monthslong project that found the pair digging deeper into their craft than ever before. With a new studio of their own in Los Angeles and the realization that they were in no hurry, The Milk Carton Kids took the time they needed to be fully satisfied with I Only See the Moon.
