The Milk Carton Kids joins host Raina Douris

When you listen to their new album, The Milk Carton Kids don’t want you to think. They want you to feel. On the World Cafe, the band–made up of Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattingale—perform songs from their latest album I Only See the Moon, and they talk about why, 12 years and 7 albums in, they wanted to tap into their early days working together.

Listen to the session here.
