Lily and Madeleine 2/18/19 Cafe 9

L and M are sisters from Indianapolis who now reside in hipster Mecca Brooklyn. The group was a quartet with the sisters on keys, guitar and vocals joined by a young woman on cello and lead guitar, and a female drummer. The songs were lush angsty pop for the most part, but veered into psych and even some disco at times. The cello was electric but the sound was decidedly cellish, which shaded the intensely personal lyrics. L and M said their forthcoming release was produced by the Nashville duo that worked on the Grammy nominated Kacey Musgraves album. I don't have to confess that pop music is not my thing ( I thought Cardi B was a rum drink with Red Bull!), but an interesting interview with the psilocybin chomping pop country crossover star Musgraves  made me open to the genre. L and M's vocals were the center point of their sound, most tunes started with one or the other solo then moved to beautiful harmony vocals. While listening, I was struck by the obvious genetic homologous nature of these two sibling singers. The sisters just came off a stint at CBS this Morning and you get a sense that they are bound for larger things.
