The Watson Twins know how to set a mood, whether they're shaping the country-soul of Jenny Lewis' Rabbit Fur Coat or the Southern slow-burn of their own material. Released four years after their breakthrough performance with Lewis, this sophomore album finds the sisters turning to Carole King's solo material, and the darker, twangier side of the Laurel Canyon scene for inspiration. Members of My Morning Jacket and Everest make cameo appearances in the girls' backup band, and songs like "Give Me a Chance," "Midnight," and "Harpeth River" mix the Watsons' vocal power with atmospheric, country-tinged arrangements. ~ Andrew Leahey

Professional Reviews

Spin (p.72) - "[T]he Watsons consult vintage Southern styles for inspiration, incorporating touches of country and plenty of hot-blooded soul."

Alternative Press (p.98) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Leigh and Chandra Watson stick spiky heels into their mellow sound with organ and rimshots out of Portishead's playbook on 'Harpeth River'..."

Billboard - "[The album] displays a more assertive attitude through its confident lyrical themes....The single 'Modern Man' features the sisters' beautiful harmonies."
