This New Jersey husband-and-wife duo creates a cozy sound with oddly unsettling undercurrents in these tracks. They are helped considerably by Daniel C. Smith’s bare-bones production approach, as well as instrumental contributions by such noteworthy friends as mastermind Sufjan Stevens and John Mosloskie (from Holler, Wild Rose!). The duo shows off their knack for carbonated pop on “Knee-Hi Wall” and “My Father’s Eyes” and genteel parlor music on “Sugar Song.” If the songs are melodically charming, their lyrics are often teasingly enigmatic — tracks like “Holly Home?” and “All Is Forgiven” probe mysteries concealed within Middle American home life. An indirect but still-discernible spiritual light shines through “Understruggle; Yay, Win” and “How You Are,” lending weight to the predominantly whimsical tone. The Stampers render it all with a poker-faced sense of humor, as if they were your next-door neighbors letting you in on a strange family anecdote. Honors invokes that sort of intimacy and sense of revelation.
