## Summary

Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan met at a California songwriting retreat in 2010 and started making music together as The Milk Carton Kids. Their self-titled debut came out the following year, with the song "Michigan" becoming an early favorite for its quiet, melancholic feel. They work with just two voices and acoustic guitars, keeping things simple and direct. Songs like "Maybe It's Time" and "As The Moon Starts To Rise"...
