RECORD OF THE WEEK - THE PIERCES, Love You More

I KNOW when I really rate a band when I start wishing they were French.
But heavy-eyed sisters Catherine and Allison Pierce come from New York (ok Alabama originally) and so almost qualify for geographical coolness.
The very first low strings set the tone for the desolate Love You More and the sisters’ bleak harmonies shun any high notes that might hint at optimism and ruin the wretched mood you should be in when listening
to this. A soundtrack for post-break-up solitude which MUST be included on the next Feeling Gloomy playlist.
