It would be easy to write these two off as a White Stripes knock off: a) boy/girl duo - check. b) lo-fi garage rock - check. c) affection for bare-boned blues sludge riffs coupled with the oh-so-quiet/precious moments. check.

Clem Snide’s Eef Barzelay has a solo joint out this month. It’s all acoustic — and it’s all downtrodden. So, if you don’t like downer records you would absolutely loathe this one. It’s a real sinker.
