Fire Songs

this is the full-length debut by identical twins chandra and leigh watson who backed up jenny lewis on her solo album 'rabbit fur coat'. gaining fans in the indie-rock, folk and alternative-country music scenes, the watson twins - whose visual presence equals their vocal presence - can't be easily categorized. their music is an evocative approach to warm, familiar sounds, which intrigue and enchant. the kentucky-born duo count folk, gospel, blues and country as early influences. the album was produced by russell pollard and j soda (members from various incarnations of sebadoh, earlimart, everest and folk implosion) and is the follow-up to the watson twins' self-released and critically acclaimed 'southern manners' ep (2006).
