Artist: Kemp & Eden 

Album: Black Hole Lace 

Label: Chimera Music 

Genre: Folk 

Comments: Kemp Muhl, one-half of the duo The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger--the other half would be Sean Lennon, whose father was a modestly successful musician--has reunited with her childhood friend Eden Rice, a classically trained vocalist. Kemp & Eden's gorgeous 30-minute debut Black Hole Lace combines the strumming acoustic guitars and harmony vocals of First Aid Kit with the hauntingly beautiful quality of Marissa Nadler, with everything steeped in '60s and '70s folk. Plus, bird hats!

Really excellent stuff. Try "Sugarcane Sword", the Simon & Garfunkel cover "Sparrow", "Lullaby" and "Goin' Down".
