After spending most of their summer on the road with She & Him (both opening for and as a part of their backing band), The Chapin Sisters have announced additional tour dates through 2010. They will continue supporting She & Him throughout the summer, as well as a handful of headlining dates this Fall.
The band is gearing up for the September 14th release of their latest studio offering, Two. In celebration, they will host two album release shows in both San Francisco (9/15) and their hometown of Los Angeles (9/16).
The Chapin Sisters, Lily & Abigail Chapin are known for pristine harmonies and haunting melodies that have gained comparisons to sixties girl groups, Appalachian family bands, and sister acts of old. Their songs and arrangements combine vocal elements of pop, blues, folk, and psychedelic rock. Self-produced by Lily and Abigail Chapin, with the help of Jesse Lee (Gang Gang Dance) and Louie Stevens (Rooney), the appropriately titled album Two seamlessly compliments layers of lush keyboards and percussion with the sister's signature vocal tones.
