Kiss Me Quick

"The songs on 'Kiss Me Quick' were written as duets. Unison, harmony, trading lines, swapping verses, interplay, interweaving. Over the decade we’ve been recording together as Hat Check Girl our harmonies have grown closer, and our blend more personal, this project explores the intrinsic possibilities in working as a duo, a different way of thinking than in the recordings we each make on our own. The conversation between the instruments, especially Annie’s lap steel and Peter’s electric lead guitar, has become another sort of duet, this collection explores that interplay as well. And, as always, only more so, this project was created completely 'in house', from writing the songs, to performing, recording, mixing, conceptualizing and realizing the production, graphic design, promotional materials, video and photography, it all happened under the red metal roof of our home and studio here on the coast of Maine. 'Kiss Me Quick' is our 8th release as Hat Check Girl." ~ Annie Gallup & Peter Gallway
