New: The Saxophones - Just You

Oakland based duo The Saxophones returns with another minimal yet immersive song. This time they chose to cover a song written by Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch which first appeared on Twin Peaks series.

Alexi Erenkov’s voice feels otherworldly warm inside this brilliant, strip down orchestrated elegy and proves for once more that The Saxophones is one of the best new bands out there....
