Those who read TAP on a regular basis already know how I feel about exciting music. Several months ago, when this Indiana sister duo, known as Lily & Madeleine, released The Weight Of The Globe EP on Asthmatic Kitty Records, I was quite taken with the five songs on it. Simply put, the lyrics are weighty, and deep in wisdom for these two teenagers, and the music, and therefore songcraft, is absolute top-notch. Even now, I listen quite frequently to the songs of that EP release.
Recently, the girls released a new song off their upcoming new album. The song, “Devil We Know” is easily as good as the EP would have you believe these girls are. I first heard the new tracks off the album in rough form when I hot Shuba’s Tavern in Chicago for their show there. The studio version of the new song makes it pop even better than the acoustic version from that show.
I already know that some of you are fans of the girls and therefore will derive a bit of joy knowing that their self-titled full length (which contains all five of the songs from the EP) is on the calendar for an October 29 release.
The album, Lily & Madeleine, is scheduled for CD, DD, and LP via Asthmatic Kitty Records.
Is this even news worthy?
Steve, some would think so. I have already received email from some people waiting for it. In fact, one had pre-ordered on the news.
I was certainly impressed enough by the EP to want to hear a full album. Need new music sometimes and can’t always keep listening to older songs, as good as they are. It’s nice to hear a song that snaps me out of my “all the new music stinks” mode. Same goes for the Smoke Fairies.
Hey, there is no such thing as a release that shouldn’t be announced. Someone will be interested. I’d rather have knowledge of every release even if I am not interested in 90% of them then miss one that I am interested in.
