With Max’s dulcimer and Dan’s soothing vocals the two tackle subjects as wide ranging as fatherhood, practising golf swings as a metaphor for life, the way the Japanese sunlight bounces off buildings “like God’s graffiti,” and the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, Max ZT and Dan Whitehouse’s songs are inventive and intimate.
