Indianapolis-based siblings Lily and Madeleine Jurkiewicz first caught the public's attention with a black-and-white D.I.Y. video for their first original song, "In the Middle," which soon garnered over half a million plays. Their elegant songcraft eventually led them to Asthmatic Kitty Records, where they enlisted the aid of producer Paul Mahern and bassist/songwriter Kenny Childers (Gentleman Caller) to help put the finishing touches on their debut EP, early 2013's The Weight of the Globe. Also featuring production by Mahern, the duo's eponymous debut long-player arrived later that year. It reached number 14 on Billboard's Americana/Folk Albums chart as well as becoming a Top 50 independent album.
In 2014, the sisters entered the studio to record their more expansive sophomore album, Fumes, which was released later that year. Their third full-length, Keep It Together, continued in the direction of more complex arrangements without disturbing the directness of the duo's vocal delivery. With Mahern again in the producer's chair, it was issued via New West Records in early 2016 and became their third straight record to reach the Top 20 of the Americana/Folk chart. Working with the Grammy-winning production team of Ian Fitchuk and Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves), they followed it in early 2019 with Canterbury Girls. ~ James Christopher Monger & Marcy Donelson, Rovi
