Review: Lily & Madeleine, Lily & Madeleine (Asthmatic Kitty)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sisters Lily and Madeleine Jurkiewicz only released their debut EP this year, but with a buzz at their teenage heels they lost no time in getting out an album. It may be a bit rushed – too sickly sweet for one sitting, while their youthful lyrics will ripen yet – but the hit rate is nonetheless impressively high.
Vocally, the Indiana-based pair are cut from the same cloth as other sister acts First Aid Kit and the Staves, and their voices sound heavenly together, with close, Appalachian-style harmonies. Arrangements may be simple, acoustic finger-picking or jangling band backing. The latter are often the better tracks; see “Nothing But Time” with its tambourine clatter and Simon and Garfunkel riffs, or the hand-clapping and twanging guitar of “I’ve Got Freedom”.
