[ folk/pop ]

Abigail and Lily Chapin have been singing together their whole lives, but they've really hit their stride with Two ( Lake Bottom), their second album and first as a duo. (Stepsister Jessica Craven contributes vocals on the disc, but she's scaled back her involvement since having a baby). Dark, spare songs like "Digging a Hole" and "Birds in My Garden" are hypnotic in their simplicity; the piano-driven "Boo Hoo" wraps you in its warm cocoon. Chiming guitars and ambling banjos augment the sisters' yearning harmonies; absent lovers and empty hearts fill their lyrics. You don't want to miss them now.
