This is the type of record I like to find when I go off scouring the international charts. This little gem was found on the Australian-Only chart. This is a brother/sister pairing performing mostly simple, acoustic songs with an occasional faux string passage or three. They trade off lead vocals and subtly back each other up . She has a light, breathy voice, possibly influenced by Kasey Chambers, and a bit of a sssssssssst in some of her endings. His songs come off like a Ray LaMontagne, but one track hinted at the Waterboys. I had originally categorized this album as Aussie Outback country, but let's call it Australiana. They are scheduled for Bonneroo on Saturday, but they are going up against Weezer, Jeff Beck, and John Prine. If I actually get to go this year, I'll be at the Cafe Where? Stage listening to the Stones...
