Track:Withouth You
A friend of mine has recently invited me to a party where we would introduce siblings to one another. Not our own but brothers and sisters who have decided to expand their kinship into music.
So here am I at your doorstep and as advised I have not come alone. Shall I make the introduction?
Everyone, this is Brothers and Sisters. Here is Will and Lily Courtney. A brother and his sister who have decided to extend their brotherly love to their bandmates: Marie Butcher, Greg McArthur, Dave Morgan, James Olsen, Dan Wilcox and Conrad Keely. - Who is who? And who plays what? Except for the lead vocals provided by Will, your guess is as good as mine.
Now I feel a bit awkward talking about their music in their presence. I shall only say that their self-titled and self-produced debut album is a bold collection of cosmic gems (Old Love Letters - streamable on their MySpace) and astral sparks (Lost and Found - in the comments)
Enough talking, my fingers are dry and parched from the banter... Let's listen to some brotherly sounds, shall we?
...there is something on this song with its susurrating reverberations and Will's vaulting lunar vocals which takes us to another stratophere.
Bonus: a bitter-sweet visual candy called "One Night"Brothers And Sisters "One Night" music video

Those who like name-dropping will find their biography by Will Sheff (Okkervill River). The same will comfort themselves in the comparisons that some have made between Brothers and Sisters and Gram Parsons and the Jayhawks...to mention just a few.
