Goodnight, Texas / Bombadil

If you take out a map and measure the midway point between San Francisco and Chapel Hill, North Carolina—the homes of the band's songwriters Avi Vinocur and Patrick Dyer Wolf, respectively—you’ll find an unincorporated town called Goodnight, Texas (population at last count: 28). That is what the duo discovered when they went looking for the center of their long-distance collaboration, a musical project that sounds, appropriately enough, like a cross-country drive on Interstate 40. They see it as expansive, full of possibility, and American in every sense of the word — the perfect place for missing someone but regretting nothing, for losing yourself in the crackle of guitar through speakers, and having a good long time to think.

Bombadil is a band that over the past year or so has been building a steady buzz, catching the attention and support of media outlets like the New York Times, NPR, and Diffuser. They've been described as…"a combination of open-minded chamber folk and the bright and sunny pop music of the 1960s” and “Syd Barrett meets The Beatles.”
