About The Milk Carton Kids

The Milk Carton Kids is an American indie folk duo consisting of Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan. Formed in 2011, their harmonious vocals and intricate guitar work have earned them critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase. They are known for their minimalist approach, often performing with just two guitars and their voices, drawing comparisons to Simon & Garfunkel.

Their music often explores themes of relationship regret and emotional pain. The lyrics frequently reflect on the complexities of human connections, the sorrow of parting ways, and the journey of moving on after a breakup. This introspective and heartfelt approach resonates deeply with listeners, making their songs both poignant and relatable.
