Another double-disc set, this mini album from the Aussie brother-sister duo accompanies their debut EP Chocolate & Cigarettes.
A splendid 12 tracks exhibit a real, raw, intimate and warm new talent.
Subtle but attention-grabbing, strong finger picked melodies swirl around soft drum brushes, harmonica, violin and the warm, velvety voice of Julia, which at rest shares Björk's tone but occasionally rises to a brittle rasp.
Angus sings too, light and delicate like a young Paul Simon. Together, they steer their way through summery lilts (Mango Tree), darker introspection (Fooled Myself) and beautiful, half-whispered storytelling (Wooden Chair).
It's out on Monday, so save your pennies for your new folky favourites.
