Fern Knight and Ex Reverie are part of the same Philadelphia scene that spawned Espers, so the two bands naturally gravitate toward the gothic side of the freak-folk spectrum. Both outfits also feature bewitching female vocals, howling guitar distortion, and the unsettling undertow of cellos. Ex Reverie offer the best description of the sound on their MySpace site: "Glam Rock from the year 1066."
