    The understated simplicity of Monterey reflects the duo’s discontent, while the absence of any memorable moment should cause listeners to feel the same.

    The songs on Monterey are uniformly pretty, due to the excellent harmonizing of Ken Pettengale and Joey Ryan, but the downcast vibe the record has seems like it will limit its appeal to very specific sections of the folk and Americana audiences.

    Monterey has an intimate, forlorn beauty, but too many of its songs slip past in a gentle blur.
