*Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan formed The Milk Carton Kids in early 2011, setting aside their solo careers in favour of a collaborative project centred on vocal harmonies, intertwined acoustic guitars and songwriting rooted in roots music.

They released their first two albums, the live album Retrospect and the studio album "Prologue", later that same year, when they also began a series of tours.

Known for their comic and provocative interplay, as well as their guitar virtuosity (Pattengale's intricate picking and Ryan's impeccable rhythm guitar), they brought a band into their project for the first time in 2018, on the release of their fourth studio album, "All the Things That I Did and All the Things That I Didn't Do".

The duo then opted for a more stripped-back line-up for their subsequent albums, notably "I Only See the Moon", released in 2023.

On their seventh studio album, "Lost Cause Lover Fool", released this year, The Milk Carton Kids offer nine tracks that, more than ever, invite listeners to draw closer and linger over the small moments the album quietly brings to the fore.
