Album review: The Chapin Sisters: Two

The Chapin Sisters: TwoLake Bottom Records, iTUNES ONLY***

Of all the fragrant sisterly duos out there just now – Secret Sisters, Webb Sisters, The Pierces (throwing a curveball by leaving off the "sisters" bit) – The Chapin Sisters, aka Lily and Abigail Chapin, nieces of folk singer/songwriter Harry Chapin, are possibly the most wispy and winsome of the lot. But even though you could knock them over with a feather, there is a tranquil allure to the wistful country/folk-flavoured acoustic pop on Two, their helpfully titled second album, and first as a duo following half-sister Jessica Craven's "leave of absence". If that all sounds too wholesome, the tribal mantra Digging A Hole and the darker shadow of Birds In My Garden temper the easy listening.
