The Binoculars, of Brooklyn, New York, is the duo of longtime pals Kaethe Hostetter and Chloë Swantner. They gather and resuscitate long lost tunes from around the world using fiddle, 5-string violin, guitar, lap steel, and laser vocal harmonies. Their repertoire spans myriad genres, dusting off 1950’s New Mexican mazurkas and American country duets, Ethiopian folk tunes and roadhouse noir b-sides. They revel in the spirit of musical hand me downs and delight in serenading an intimate audience.
