Thoughts: Wikipedia says that a ley line is an apparent alignment of landmarks, religious sites, and man-made structures.  Like feng shui for the landscape around us.  Sounds to be the kind of crazy pants pseudoscience that we our President likely believes in.  For an example, see St. Michael's Line.

As for the band, this is a group of four ladies (including a set of twins) who met at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 2013.  The tunes themselves are generally acoustic, with multilingual action popping up repeatedly.  Their website says that they partner with local organizations and schools to do interactive performances and workshops, which is pretty cool.

One album, 2016's Field Notes, and then a couple of singles since then.  None crack the 20k streaming threshhold.  Top track is "Cinnamon Fingers" with 18k streams.  But that one doesn't get a YouTube thing.  Here they are in the gondola at Telluride, singing something called "Sometimes" for 20 seconds.

You can barely hear it over the rumble of the gondola, but you can tell they have nice harmonies.  Most recent video is called "To the Sky."

But that is like a shitty homemade promo video that you should not watch.  How about this one, called "The Well" that starts like a creepy horror film.

Nice tune - I'm all about some shakers and harmonies.  Sound, once again, kinda sucks the power out of their voices, and they are better on the studio stuff.

Probably wouldn't go see this live, but it sounds nice!
