Facts:
The project's name and origin trace to a MySpace message: Dessner sent Vernon an instrumental sketch titled "Big Red Machine" (after the 1970s Cincinnati Reds) for the Dark Was the Night charity compilation, and Vernon turned it into a full song.
"Phoenix" pairs the duo with Fleet Foxes and Anaïs Mitchell as featured vocalists, part of the collective, revolving-cast approach that defines the project.
