Together, they craft intimate compositions full of grace and elegant introspection. In Dravus House’s music, Loper’s vocals, songwriting, and guitar playing weave together with Stoulil’s emotive electric guitar picking in the style of folk duos such as Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, the Weepies, and the Milk Carton Kids. Their sound is also influenced by Irish and American folk music, 20th century icons such as Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake, along with 90s alternative rock such as The Innocence Mission. According to sound engineer Johnny Bregar, 'Loper’s unique melodic sensibility is reminiscent of Joni Mitchell and trans-Atlantic modality”' " -Artist Bio MIKE SAMPSON: soundsdusty.bandcamp.com/releases"[Dusty] is an alternative rock three-piece based out of Seattle, Washington.
