The Watson Twins- Talking to You Talking to me

Add Date- Feb 9, 2010
Artist- The Watson Twins
Album- Talking to You Talking to Me
Label- Vanguard
Genre- Indie folk with a splash of soul

These twin sisters had a brief brush with indie fame back in 2006 working with Rilo Kiley’s Jenny Lewis on the album Rabbit Fur Coat. Their second album without Lewis finds the two veering towards the sort of retro-pop that came into prominence with Amy Winehouse (remember her?) or Duffy. The Watson Twins prevent their sound from being too predictable by adding touches of Southern influences. This is the type of sultry pop that I imagine being played in smoke-filled gentleman’s clubs in the 60’s.

The Watson Twins will be in Pittsburgh on February 10th at the Rex Theater on South Side.
