Hook & Anchor is a story of lost songs finding a home. After a busy five years of touring with Portland-based band Blind Pilot, Kati Claborn was sitting on a steadily growing pile of tunes. The bands\' self-titled debut, is adventurous yet accessible, stitched together by a reverence for the evolution of traditional American music and the strong individual voices that comprise the band. Although generalizations don\'t come easy, the album exists somewhere at the confluence of country, folk, and rock and roll, with every track pushing definitions across a new border.
