THE CHAPIN SISTERS
Two
The aptly titled Two is a solid sequel to the Chapin Sisters’ critically hailed 2008 debut, Lake Bottom LP. With Jessica Craven on hiatus and focusing on her family, siblings Abigail and Lily Chapin take up the slack, their delicate, shimmering harmonies effectively filling the newfound space in the sound. The daughters of veteran singer and songwriter Tom Chapin (and the nieces of his late brother Harry), the Chapins clearly have folk in their genes. They boldly commence the album with a pristine a cappella “Sweet Light,” and their cushy, cascading vocals imbue subsequent songs like “Roses in Winter,” “Birds in my Garden” and “Boo Hoo” with a gentle, angelic ambiance.
