Description

"The Comforters and I have something in common. Besides the affinity for acoustic indie pop obviously. We both have a grandmother named Ruth; Transplants is dedicated to their Grandma Ruth and is an offering comprised of tender Americana pop with female vocals and roots rock earnestness. Very melodic, and extremely alluring. Pick it up."

- J-Sin Smother Magazine


The Comforters are Pia and Jason Robbins. They live in Eugene, Oregon with their dog, Walrus. Their songs mix roots tradition with pop melodies and vivid storytelling.

Their debut record, "Transplants", is a tastefully decorated home for nine tunes who have demonstrated that they can get along with each other for forty minutes at a go. We had to kick a couple of bullies outta the place", says Pia, they were pushing the others around. Weve worked hard on crafting a record that has a unified sound, explains Jason, even if we wander around stylistically. With Pia you know, she has such a beautiful voice that communicates so much, that its just painting around that with sounds and textures.

The irony is that, while on the surface there is an air of tranquility and endless calm to the album, the songs reveal an unsettling dead-calm that is the backdrop to affairs, depression, heartbreak, alienation and yes, some negative things as well. Its true, says Pia, we do like to think weve found a way to put the 'forte' back in The Comforters.

The Comforters recorded "Transplants" at their own Big Timbre Studio in Eugene. Jason has engineered and produced records by artists such as Dwight Yoakam, Pete Anderson, Michelle Shocked and Curt Kirkwood.

The Comforters have quickly found ears tuned to the bittersweet in life. The first song they previewed online, "Lazy Sundays", garnered radio play on radio shows across the U.S. The response has been great, says Jason, and its a real kick in the pants knowing ahead of time that people weve never met in person are looking forward to the record coming out.
