The first time I heard their song "Hardly There" it quieted everything in me... much like when you were a kid and your mom tucked you into bed and told you everything was going to be okay. Not just your body, but your soul would relax. Passing the burdens onto shoulders much stronger than yours. The business of your day.. week.. all the deadlines and worries just dissipate as soon as she starts singing. The melancholic chords from their guitars, soothing voices, and the perfectly blended harmonies (very reminiscent of the ones from back in the 50's... at the dinners shows that had a full big band, everyone was dressed up, cigarettes in hand, women adorned with sparkly dresses, and a dance floor surrounded by tables with white-linen cloth, candle light and penguin waiters) all act as a big warm quilt.
Annabel Lee (Website // Bandcamp // Facebook // ReverbNation) is folk-trio (from Seattle) made up of sisters Caroline & Katrina and friend Lena (who the met while attending Cornish College of the Arts). They're in final stages of the recording process and will soon release their debut (12 track) album. Here's a preview:
