"World Brand New," the stunning self-produced follow-up to Mouths of Babes' award-winning full-length debut "Brighter in the Dark," is a Folk/Americana album in the old-fashioned sense: an album with an arc, meant to be listened to all the way through on good headphones with no distractions. With ten songs that range from stuck-in-your-head catchy to cinematic and orchestral, married duo Ty Greenstein and Ingrid Elizabeth take you on the Hero’s Journey hinted at in the cover art: One must venture out to the turbulent sea, step fully into the chaos of the world, and face a reckoning, in order to finally come home. The album can be read as an inner journey, a relationship coming full-circle, and/or a national reckoning — and is meant as all of these.

Mixed by Nino Moschella of Bird & Egg Studios and mastered by sound designer Bijan Sharifi, the duo created the enchanting sonic landscape in World Brand New with the help of multi-instrumentalist Michael Connolly, percussionists Sean Trishka and Joe Chellman, violinist Tania Elizabeth of The Avett Brothers, cellist Mai Bloomfield of the Jason Mraz band, Motown/Tonight Show Band veteran Vicki Randle, and Grammy-nominated vocalist Melanie deMore, among others.
