After spending the last six years living, cooking meals, writing songs, and even attending therapy together in a cramped New York City apartment, the members of Girlyman are ready to make a change. Perhaps the title track off their new CD, Joyful Sign, says it best: Sometimes leaving is a joyful sign Like a little child singing, "This little light of mine, gonna let it shine." Band member Nate Borofsky admits that leaving is a major theme throughout the CD. "When we moved in together and started Girlyman six years ago, we all kind of fell in love and had this creative explosion. Now that we're all moving out, there's a sense of possibility and excitement about what could happen next." Co-produced with Bob Harris, Joyful Sign features the band's folk/pop/bluegrass sound but with a sense of confidence, energy and spirit that the trio has become known for live. The album is a showcase for memorable, well-crafted songs, graced by the group's signature three-part harmonies.
