So I promised some more music--here's the first of the lot.
Catherine and Allison Pierce, Wikipedia tells me, used to record folk rock. Their records didn't sell well and their label was prepared to drop them. They thought they were on their way out, and decided to have fun with their next album.
The result, released in March, is Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge, a hypnotic pop record built on dark harmony, darker lyrics, and dark pop-folk instrumentation. Yes, "dark" may just be the best adjective for the record. "Cynical," "aggressive," and "catchy as hell" would also fit well.
This should give you the idea:
The Pierces - Lies
The Pierces - Kill! kill! kill!
