Twin Sister & Memoryhouse played last night at Cat's Cradle

Last night Memoryhouse and Twin Sister played at the Cat's Cradle, to an audience of about 25. I felt that I got to know these two bands intimately. Both these bands have shown up on Pitchfork's 'Rising Section'. Pitchfork writes, Long Island-bred indie-pop quintet Twin Sister make music that sounds like a secret. Main vocalist Andrea Estella's voice breathes like a whisper while the rest of the band pulse, reverb, and twang behind her. The result is intimate, diffuse, and even a little funky. and writes, Ontario duo Memoryhouse layer reverb over wistful, bittersweet hooks and minimal drum machine tics like a more fresh-faced Beach House.
If you get a chance to see these bands, I wouldn't miss it.
