King Willow’s music feels like the sonic embodiment of a sunny day. Saccharine yet not insubstantial, sisters Amanda and Julianna Salguero beautifully combine folk-storytelling sensibilities with a glossy pop finish, creating tunes that are both bittersweet and catchy. Today, we’re premiering King Willow’s new video for “Selfish”, a nostalgic and chaotic craft-project of a dream that perfectly pairs with the song’s mix of melodic vocals and self-critical lyrics. - Rookie Magazine
“Talk Like That” is undeniably charming as it draws on heavy inspiration from decades past, but frankly, King Willow does it better than most these days when it comes to retro-fied pop. The singing gene runs strong in the Salguero family, as evidenced by Julianna’s buttery vocals that soar over the chorus, and are only amplified by Amanda Salguero’s perfectly complimentary harmonies. The pair have been at it almost their entire lives, and their synchronization shows. - Atwood Magazine

Bio
Amanda and Julianna Salguero are the sisters behind King Willow. Northeast natives and currently based out of San Francisco, these bicoastal babes bring a quality of vulnerability and earnestness to upbeat indie pop.
With diverse influences ranging from modern pop and R&B to old-school folk, Julianna's evocative songwriting tells stories cloaked in catchy melodies punctuated with powerful harmonies, honed from singing together (basically) since birth. Their “mature and mesmerizing indie pop” (Wolf in a Suit) ranges from slower huskier numbers to upbeat anthems. The sisters lure you in with their vulnerability, sultry harmonies, and glossy nostalgic finish.
King Willow released their self-titled debut EP in March 2017 through 11th Avenue Records.
