You'll like it if: You enjoy music that takes the Indigo Girls
sound and
gives it a swift kick in the ass.
Defining song: "Silver Bullets" - Full of haunting harmonies,
this song
should be a prime-time lurker on respectable radio stations.
I've been a sucker for a fiddle lately. Andrew Bird first introduced me
to the coupling of rock 'n' roll and bow, and now the diva duo Divine
MAGgees (pronounced "Maggies") have prompted an inner lust that has
become unshakable. Danielle Tibedo (vocals, guitars) and Cregan Montague
(vocals, fiddles) dabble in folk sensibilities, but have enough edge to
leave an ember in any doubter's eye. Punk leanings meld perfectly into
flourishing harmonies, giving the duo a confident air missing in most
bands that flirt with various styles. The immaculate studio tinkering of
Chris Rosser gives Love Me Like the Roses a gloss without
sacrificing
the live sound the duo intended for their third release.
For people who like this style of music, they'll have a tough time
finding anything better.
