Couple(t)s - Couldn't Be Happiers

There’s something instantly charming — and deceptively complex — about Couple(t)s, the sophomore album by North Carolina folk-rock duo Couldn’t Be Happiers. On first listen, it’s easy to get swept up in the earworm harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and the sheer likability of the married couple at the heart of it all: Jodi Hildebran Lee and Jordan Crosby Lee. But spend a little more time with this 12-track record, and you’ll find a rich, poetic tapestry that digs deep into protest, folklore, and love — the three pillars that hold this project up.
