Beauty World

"Beauty World (Durham, NC) is the project of Duncan Webster and Leah Gibson. Gibson, cellist for Lost in the Trees/Bowerbirds, met Webster, bassist and singer for Hammer No More the Fingers, in 2010. They have since been honing their sound — merging pop sensibilities and dreamy harmonies. “Yes, traces of those other acts still appear, but these quixotic songs and uncanny arrangements twist chamber pop into fascinating forms. It’s like musical origami, where familiar shapes find new expression.” - Grayson Haver Currin, Indy Week"
