MP3: Piroth - Waltz for prima ballerina

Piroth are sister duo Johanna and Nina Piroth and together they create the kind of tight harmonies that you typically only hear from siblings. It's not too unlike The Roches, 'cept you'd have to swap their sense of humor for a large dose of Nordic melancholy. So yeah, we're talking folksy chamber-pop - more baroque than that other Stockholm-based sister duo Taxi Taxi!, but perhaps not so much as The Tiny. Actually, this particular track has more of a renaissance/medieval feel. The duo is still far more tweepop that early music overall, but it certainly has that vibe - the triplet rhythm, the storyline in the lyrics. That's pretty damn old-fashioned if you ask me. Or would that be 'olde fashioned' with an e? Not that I'm complaining - it's quite nice regardless.

This one's more for the twee fans, though I think they have much broader appeal.
