"Willow Willow"

Local folk duo Willow Willow — Miranda Zeiger and Jessica Vohs — have built a buzz over the last few years showing off their close harmony singing and strong songwriting. Their eponymous debut, on the local Mod Lang label, is faintly British, gently moody and lushly romantic. The two have been harmonizing since they met in grammar school; their effortless harmonies have an aching, crystalline purity. The tunes include the touching pop heartbreak of “Stuck in Time,” the breathless celebration of “I Feel Love” and “Lovely Hours,” a piece that brings to mind a British folk dance with its interplay of bright acoustic guitars and delirious harpsichord.

"Willow Willow"

Equally inspired by Antonio Carlos Jobim and the 1970s British folk revival, the delicate, glossy pop of local duo Willow Willow also includes something of a declaration that irony is dead. "It occurs to me as I wake up in your sun-filled room: We should go to the rose garden. It'll be in bloom," Miranda Zeiger and Jessica Vohs sing on "Follow the Spring." No snark mars the joy of this sweetness, and the long training the two have had as classical singers (they've been singing together since childhood) plays out in harmonies with the kind of depth usually only found on Beach Boys records. Zeiger's acoustic guitar forms the backbone of the band's instrumentation, but it's often joined by brushed drums, harps, or strings. Bart Davenport's extraordinarily pretty guitar riffs add a different ripple on WW's new eponymous album on Mod Lang Records.

Bio

About Willow Willow:

Singer/songwriters Miranda Zeiger and Jessica Vohs discovered their gift for harmonizing together not long after meeting in kindergarten. Their intense, lifelong, musical bond results in a magical purity impossible to contrive. With influences ranging from the Beatles, the Smiths, and the Everly Brothers, to Burt Bacharach and Antonio Carlos Jobim, their smart, classic-sounding, original pop songs are what elevate this duo to the realm of the exquisite.
Willow Willow had been performing, primarily as a duo with a single guitar, in the San Francisco Bay Area for about seven years. Upon recently relocating to Los Angeles, they hired producer Luke Top (front man of local favorite, Fools Gold) and assembled a stellar group of musicians includung Luke Top on bass guitar, Paul Burkhart (Mover, Cocaine Unicorn) on drums, Aaron Robinson (Sea Wolf) on lead guitar and keyboardist Matthew Lurie to record a full length album, which is currently in its final stage of mixing. They are thrilled to release this new collection of their best songs yet, and to establish themselves within the live music scene of their new home city. The band’s enchanting sound can also be heard on their self-titled debut album on Mod Lang Records.
