Some music fans from the Great White North caught the Sisters at CMJ back in October and wrote this review (accurate except for the confusion of Tampa with Miami -- then again, how many of us U.S. folks could tell Edmonton from Winnipeg without help?). It's good to see the enchantment spreading across North America.
This New York trio’s slow-burning indie rock tunes seemed to levitate, like slimmed down versions of decade-old 4AD records by Lush, the Throwing Muses, Belly and the Breeders, contemporaries of singer/ guitarist/ accordionist Cindy Wheeler and bassist/backup singer Mary Guidera’s old Miami-based band, Pee Shy. Guidera joked, "we just wanted to see if you were high" after Wheeler hammered away at her guitar throughout a spacey epic called "Box of Glass," the climax of an increasingly effective set. LC
By the way, I feel remiss for not immediately recognizing that the Paolo who commented so kindly on one of my earlier posts is the same Paolo (a/k/a Mr. Grieves), who did such a fine job producing "Say It With Fire." It's an honor, sir. He's also got a band called Codachrome -- go ahead and check them out, too.
