The Hackles impressed with their debut album, but it was the follow-up, 2019’s 'A Dobritch Did As A Dobritch Should', that established them well beyond the shores of the USA. In the UK, The Daily Express called it “gorgeous Americana,” while RnR magazine said it was “magnificent.” Folk Radio UK praised the “intelligent, highly melodic song-writing.”
Kati Claborn and Luke Ydstie, both previously core members of the band Blind Pilot, impressed with their sumptuous vocal harmonies and writing skills, confirming them as a major force on the Americana/indie-folk circuit. The Hackles, now a trio, have a new album coming and a couple of tracks are written by close friend and long-time auxiliary member Halli Anderson of the band, River Whyless, who joins them here.

“Highly refined songwriting and awe-inspiring harmonization.” - Rough Trade
“Built off wonder, reflection, strain, and curiosity, A Dobritch Did As A Dobritch Should is a mature reckoning with life’s innumerable tides. Exciting yet tranquil, expansive yet disciplined, The Hackles find their voice in a mesmerizingly rich sea of indie folk sound.” - Atwood Magazine
“The lyrics on this album paint vivid images but sew them together with bits of gauze, cobwebs, and clouds.” - Steven Rafferty Americana UK
About as authentic PNW folk as you can get.” - Susan Varnes-Newland Seattle Wave Radio
