Jenny Lewis Pals the Watson Twins Sign to Vanguard
Perhaps you know the Watson Twins as those two ladies just behind Jenny Lewis on their collaborative Rabbit Fur Coat LP. Or maybe you know Chandra and Leigh Watson from their 2006 EP Southern Manners. Perhaps you even heard one of their tunes on the popular doctor-based soap opera "Grey's Anatomy". But whether they're familiar faces to you or just a couple of girls who look a lot alike, allow me to introduce you to a new Watson Twins: recent Vanguard Records signees the Watson Twins, that is.
Indeed, the Kentucky-raised, L.A.-based Watson Twins will issue their debut full length, Fire Songs, for their new label June 24. The disc, produced by Russell Pollard (Sebadoh, Alaska!) and J. Soda, will find the Twins in fine folkie company, with new labelmates like Doc Watson and the Band's Levon Helm. Their more immediate next move, however, finds them joining up with the ironic moustache set down at SXSW. (That almost makes them CocoRosie! Ba dum dum.) They will be only be performing new material at SXSW.
In other Watson Twins news, their take on Neil Young's "Powderfinger" was recently released on the (almost) all-female Cinnamon Girl tribute LP.
