6.20.04
We released our debut CD early this year and we have received wonderful feedback so far (thanks to those who wrote amazing reviews at amazon.com). The album Pleiades, named after a mysterious star cluster which in Greek mythology told the fates of seven sisters, blends together the beautiful voices of Summer and Dru as well as guest vocalists Regeana Morris (from The Changelings), Katy Belle, and Rebecca Colleen Miller. The album opens and closes with a ghostly choir evoking the two sisters on the album cover art, and from there evenly explores the different aspects of the heavenly milieu.
You can hear the track "Riu Riu Chiu," an alternate unreleased version of "In the Dark" as well as "Tears" from the debut 7-inch EP on our sounds page.
