How far can you go until you’ve gone too far? Way South expresses strength in irony, balancing influences that might collapse in the hands of a lesser band--the playfulness of Feist, introspection of Leonard Cohen, power pop of the Beatles, vibrance of gypsy jazz. Evolving from the band Julep ('04-'08), Jen Fox and Jim Srnec reshape their brand of overcast indie rock with the percussive complexity of Michael Fox (Lousy Robot) and the guitar virtuoso of Karl Haug (Alan White Project). Always looking for the silver lining, this indie rock family threads a bright strand through the Seattle music scene.
