Swedens My Larsdotter and Icelands Bubba Tomasdottir are sisters linked not by blood but seemingly shared past lives. Together as My Bubba, the two create soulful folk music which is both sultry and refined. Having co-written numbers in the households of household names (Matthew E. White, Noah Georgeson), the duo have found a comfortable place at a table of kindred spirits. Sonically sparse, the songs these women weave are laced with dark humor and clever bite. Sunday morning with the creeping sense of Saturday nights mistakes, black tea with a drop of honey. My Bubbas sound ushers in the heaviness while leaving nothing but room to breathe. This is sensual, unhurried music, with changes that take their time to reveal themselves. Simultaneously strange and familiar, like milk from another planet.
Their rustic and winsome ways belie a modern sensibility and often a sultry suggestiveness. - Jim Beckmann, KEXP Blog.
My and Bubba set up off stage in front of a row of couches sans microphones and amps and entertained the 20 or so of us who came. It's so lovely to hear voices unadorned and acoustic. Honestly a night of magic. - Bob Boilen, All Songs Considered.
My bubba is two young women [...] who sound like their generation's Simon and Garfunkel. With just a guitar and vocals, they are mesmerizing in their softer-than-soft, lilting songs []. Their music or delivery did not change whether the the audience was made up of 20 or 500 people. And the audiences' reaction - hushed silence - never changed. - Amos Perrine, No Depression.
