[ACOUSTIC FOLK] In 2009, the young outfit known as the Lower 48 left Minneapolis to dwell among the Northwest’s booming folk scene. As its name suggests, the Portland-based trio’s music rummages through ideas of travel and exploration, as well as the usual musings of wandering musicians. Behind the quiet combination of male-female vocals from Ben Braden and Sarah Parson, the group uses mainly acoustic instruments, particularly guitars, strings, percussion and, occasionally, a horn or two. On its self-released 2011 album, <i>Where All Maps End</i>, hints of promising experimentation arise, suggesting the band’s noncommittal relationship to its popular genre, such as the subtle infusion of electronic effects and the distant sound of lo-fi recordings. These kids have the chops and curiosity to make an impression, so I’m looking forward to hearing where they journey to next.<br><p></p>
