PRESENTS:
THE QUiRKY SOUND OF HE'S MY BROTHER SHE'S MY SiSTER AND THEiR SELF-TiTLED EP
FEBRUARY
2, 2012 - HE'S MY BROTHER SHE'S MY SISTER seem to invite a broad range
of colorful words to describe their music and performances: “flamboyant
folk,” “psych-acoustic,” “estranged and glamorous” and “vaudeville-y,”
with “alleyway rhythms,” and “earthy swagger.” No doubt this is due to
their mélange of musical styles, both modern and antique; their
eccentric attire and sense of expression, that is both sincere and
theatrical; and, their unique instrumentation, which includes a rhythm
section bolstered by a tap dancer. Brother and sister ROBERT KOLAR and
RACHEL KOLAR split vocal duties, with ROBERT on guitar and kick drum
and RACHEL on tambourine. Their voices range from boisterous
to introspective, from breezy to emotive. LAUREN BROWN adds full-body
percussion with her fluid tap-dancing. OLIVER NEWELL adds stand up bass
with joyous flair. AARON ROBINSON plays lead guitar on a lap slide,
veering from nuanced psychedelica to American roots riffs. And SATYA
BHABHA adds unconventional cello playing which is at times sweeping,
and at other times bellows like a husky fiddle.
