The duo’s career took off just a few short years ago after producer and Zero Boys frontman Paul Mahern discovered their YouTube videos, in which they gorgeously covered songs by Adele, Mumford & Sons, and others. Since then, they strove to release an album a year for three years. Though Keep It Together comes 16 months after their sophomore record, it’s well worth the wait. The Jurkiewicz sisters’ work studying and covering a diverse and notable roster of artists has clearly yielded a lush, unique sound all their own, in spite of their numerous influences. A little bit Jenny Lewis, with hints of Fleet Foxes and many others thrown in, Lily & Madeleine boast a polished, mature sound demarcated most prominently by their harmonious vocals. The sisters’ angelic voices are an auditory hot cup of tea on a winter night, soothing and calming, warming you to your core. “Westfield”, the third track on the album, is a down comforter of a song—it beckons you to wrap yourself in it, and rarely have you been so comfortable. In under 40-minutes, Lily & Madeleine prove there’s still beauty in the world, and that sisterly love, coupled naturally with evolving talent, can make for an impressively powerful album.” - Under The Radar Mag, 2/24/16 Glide Magazine says that Trixie Whitley is “One To Watch” “Like her last album, Fourth Corner, 2016’s Porta Bohemica reflects the strength and confidence of a performer that possesses an extended resume. Indeed, on initial encounter, several striking forebears come to mind – Annie Lennox, Betty Levert, Aretha Franklin, and any number of other revered divas. Whitley’s doesn’t attempt to imitate those icons, but she does emulate them to a great extent. Her pliable vocals show remarkable range, veering from a whisper to wail in ways that are bound to garner favorable comparisons. Still, despite the disparate influences that surface this time around — a mixed bag that incorporates punk, electronica, hip-hop and old school R&B — Trixie Whitley turns mostly introspective on this sopho- more set, taking a low-key approach that belies the buzz she achieved with Fourth Corner, her dazzling debut. Whitely’s not exactly a newcomer; she likely learned a few chops from her old man, singer/songwriter Chris Whitley, and spent much of her preteen years as a freewheeling DJ before being drafted by Daniel Lanois to front his band Black Dub. With Porta Bohemica, Whitley mostly eschews extraneous trappings for the sake of quiet repose. Whitley’s never been an easy artist to typecast, but given the emotion and vulnerability she projects here, that elusive image is all the more affirmed. Taking its name from a train line that once ran between Germany and Austria, Porta Bohemica may be a more subdued follow up than some might have anticipated, given that its austere trappings and oblique references seem to advance that notion overall. Still, there are certain songs — “Closer,” “Hourglass,” “Eliza’s Smile” — convey a haunting allure, sensuous, seductive, and intriguing as well. Those passionate performances set the tone, and for that reason alone, Whitley’s become one to watch.” - Glide Magazine, 2/5/16 Coming up for adds in the next few weeks: 3/7: 3/14: 4/4: Greg Laswell Victoria Reed Barns Courtney City and Colour The Young Wild “Lifetime Ago” “Nothing To Lose” “Fire” “Wasted Love” “Not A One” RIGHT ARM RESOURCE WEEKLY UPDATE - 2/24/2016
