Other Harp Hipsters
|
The Callen Sisters are a harp & guitar duo, consisting of real-life sisters, Jessa and Beth. They are playing this Monday (January 7th, 2008) at The Bitter End in New York.
If you like that singer/songwriter variety, you’ll like these girls.
I read that of the 12 songs on their record that half of them were written by Jessa and the other by Beth. I couldn’t tell who wrote which songs or who’s actually singing.
“Anomie”, according to the press material, is by Beth. The song is actually poppier than the other songs, with a back percussion/drums (Dan Castellani/Dave Gluck) and bass (Chris Anderson). It is the lead song off the record and it’s a good song that will keep you interested for more songs.
They were also recently featured on Harp Magazine, where they offer Irrelevant as a free download. This is another good song, if you listen to the end, there’s a nice build up of sounds.
The Callen Sisters’ debut album is out now (available on CD ($9.99) and itunes ($9.99))
Check out more of their songs on the official, add them as a friend on myspace, and read their blogs at thecallensisters.blogspot.com.
