About The Low Branches:
"Enthralling. Mesmerizing. Melancholy. Haunting. Ephemeral. Astounding. Cathartic. Remembrance. Distinct. Beautiful." -Shannon Cleary, (RVA Magazine)

A minimalist folk duo consisting of members Christina Gleixner and Matt Klimas, the band also occasionally features Josh Quarles, David Lam and Adam Tsai. Formed in 2009, The Low Branches have drawn considerable praise over the past year with their unique, ethereal sound.

In a September 2010 interview, Gleixner reflected on The Low Branches sound and songwriting influences:"I write from the perspective of a naturalist. Both my experiences and emotions always intersect with that side of the world...We work on the instrumentals to find a place that reflects the concept of the writing. It is often very quiet, like the wilderness: just you, your thoughts, and the subtle sounds that accompany that space."
