The Pierces are sisters Catherine and Allison, who, having already made the journey from their birthplace of Alabama to New York City, are now off to support Albert Hammond, Jr. on his tour of the UK.
Their debut album, Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge, will be released in February of '07 on Lizard King Records. Based on the very pretty, haunting, late-'60s/early-'70s-evoking song below, I'm looking forward to hearing it.
Here are the Pierces on MySpace.

[MP3] "Go to Heaven"
Their...debut album? I already own two albums by The Pierces, so I'm ECSTATIC that they are releasing a new one-- but both their eponymous album and The Light of the Moon are wonderful recordings. You should check them out.
ReplyDeleteYikes! My bad. Thanks for the correction; I'll have to look for those other two.
