ABOUT THE CHAPIN SISTERS

Abigail and Lily Chapin are known for pristine harmonies and haunting melodies. Though they have gained comparisons to sister acts of old, they have also deviated from that comparison “more like a distaff Lennon/McCartney than a traditional sibling act...” (Steve Horowitz, Popmatters). Their songs defy genre, melding elements of pop, blues and psychedelic rock with hints of Appalachian banjo riffs, echoing percussion and modal harmonies. Their first full-length record Lake Bottom LP was critically acclaimed and named one of LA Weekly’s Top Ten Records of 2008.
