Though the singing duo of Chandra and Leigh Watson have released several earlier albums on their own, it was their collaboration with Rilo Kiley lead singer Jenny Lewis on her solo album, RABBIT FUR COAT, that brought the twins' alt-country sensibility to the fore. FIRE SONGS, the duo's first album since RABBIT FUR COAT, continues their trademark blend of traditional country, 1970s style singer-songwriter pop, and atmospheric indie rock. A remarkable narcotic cover of the Cure's "Just Like Heaven" is a standout, but songs like the haunting ballad "Fall" and the slinky, R&B-tinged "Map To Where You Are" are equally fine. FIRE SONGS is available as a digital download, a standard CD, and a vinyl LP.Spin (p.111) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Their haunting harmonies are in full effect throughout the L.A.-based sister act's first full-length..."
CMJ - "[T]he entire collection is uniformly gorgeous...thanks to delicate guitar plucking, simple but effective arrangements and the sisters' seamlessly blended voices."
Q (Magazine) (p.145) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[With] slow, brooding, impeccably delivered songs..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.114) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[L]ate-night radio is bound to fall first for their take on The Cure's 'Just Like Heaven,' Robert Smith's saga of love-struck hyperventilation here as a languid prairie dream."
Paste (magazine) (p.72) - "Chandra and Leigh Watson each possess a smoky voice, but their harmonies are more than the sum of their parts, so closely intertwined that they become indistinguishable and all the more powerful." Watson Twins Fire Songs Songs Fire Songs Review

Fire Songs
 $11.65   
EVERCLEAR, AMC's finest hour and one the '90s' most powerful albums, is simultaneously lush and searing, heartache and despair borne out in elegant arrangements that combine fragile prettiness and soul-baring howls of pain. Multi-instrumentalist Bruce Kaphan rose to the occasion of his production debut. The canyons of reverb on the instruments are strangely appropriate, highlighting the almost decadent, tragically beautiful feel of the songs. Keyboards, pedal steel, and acoustic guitars drift like abandoned ships swirling around in a colorfully tempestuous sea full of unknown nautical demons. Guitarist Vudi contributes some of the most artful, non-traditional sounds ever concocted by a "rock" axeman.
The album begins with a slow, soulful lament to a love who's either sleeping ...
| | Arcade Fire Funeral CD (2004)
Fire Songs
$12.05 
This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness.
Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and many others--even a dose of soul gets worked into these grand anthems. Chassagne delivers some spellbinding vocals on ...
| | Bright Eyes I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning CD (2005)
Fire Songs
$10.79
In early 2005, young indie icon Conor Oberst (AKA Bright Eyes) unveiled two full-length albums--I'M WIDE AWAKE, IT'S MORNING and DIGITAL ASH IN A DIGITAL URN. Whereas the latter proved to be a departure into electronic music, the former sticks to Oberst's established sound, which combines the urgency and heart-on-the-sleeve sentiment of emo-rock with twangy, down-home feel of alt-country and folk music.
I'M WIDE AWAKE begins with Oberst telling a story that morphs into "At the Bottom of Everything," a jangly, upbeat tune featuring My Morning Jacket's Jim James on backing vocals. Throughout the record, Oberst reaches nearly hysterical peaks, seemingly overcome with emotion as his wavering ...
| | Sufjan Stevens Illinois CD (2005)
Fire Songs
$12.19 
The second entry from sui generis singer/songwriter Sufjan Stevens in his absurdly ambitious project to make a record for every state in America outdistances even 2003's superb GREETINGS FROM MICHIGAN in scope and beauty. A sweeping paean to the Lincoln state, ILLINOIS weaves together history, personal confession, and detail-filled scenarios with chamber folk, expansive orchestral pop, and back-porch pastoral settings for a stunningly progressive indie gem that sound like Brian Wilson, Stereolab, and Neil Young holding hands in heaven.
Remarkably, in its intricate, gorgeously crafted surfaces, ...

| | Trembling Blue Stars Last Holy Writer CD (2007) (Import) United Kingdom
Fire Songs
$15.25
Truth be told, the Trembling Blue Stars routine was getting kind of stale by the release of Seven Autumn Flowers in 2004. With that album they crossed the line that divides reliable and predictable; no longer did the morose lyrics, melancholy vocals, minor chords and cheesy synths make a positive impression. Luckily for fans of the band, The Last Holy Writer is a comeback of sorts, certainly an improvement, and maybe even one of their finest records. How did they do it? It's hard to say because on the surface it seems like not much has changed sound or mood-wise. ...
