Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Hextalls formed in Minneapolis in the early 2010s, with Jack Hextall on vocals and guitar, Emily Hextall on keyboards and backing vocals, and Ben Hextall on drums. Their song 'I Met Her At The Ropetow' became their most recognizable track, built around a catchy chorus and narrative lyrics.
Their sound pulls from indie rock and folk, with Emily's keyboard work adding atmospheric textures to Jack's songwriting. Another song, 'We Belong,' shows their tendency toward layered harmonies and introspective themes.
In 2016, the band faced plagiarism allegations regarding 'I Met Her At The Ropetow,' which they denied. They'd also dealt with financial constraints earlier in their career while trying to establish themselves in Minneapolis.
