Willow Willow is: Miranda Zeiger, Jessica Vohs and friends
Influences
Silly Sisters (June Tabor and Maddy Prior), The Beatles, Harry Nilsson, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Love, Tom Petty, The Shins, The Kinks, The Pentangle and more...
Equally inspired by Antonio Carlos Jobim and the 1970s British folk revival, the delicate, glossy pop of local duo Willow Willow also includes something of a declaration that irony is dead. "It occurs to me as I wake up in your sun-filled room: We should go to the rose garden. It'll be in bloom," Miranda Zeiger and Jessica Vohs sing on "Follow the Spring." No snark mars the joy of this sweetness, and the long training the two have had as classical singers (they've been singing together since childhood) plays out in harmonies with the kind of depth usually only found on Beach Boys records. Zeiger's acoustic guitar forms the backbone of the band's instrumentation, but it's often joined by brushed drums, harps, or strings; Bart Davenport's extraordinarily pretty guitar riffs add a different ripple on WW's new eponymous album on Mod Lang Records.

Local folk duo Willow Willow — Miranda Zeiger and Jessica Vohs — have built a buzz over the last few years showing off their close harmony singing and strong songwriting.
Their eponymous debut, on the local Mod Lang label, is faintly British, gently moody and lushly romantic. The two have been harmonizing since they met in grammar school; their effortless harmonies have an aching, crystalline purity.
The tunes include the touching pop heartbreak of “Stuck in Time,” the breathless celebration of “I Feel Love” and “Lovely Hours,” a piece that brings to mind a British folk dance with its interplay of bright acoustic guitars and delirious harpsichord. ( SF Examiner, by J.Poet )

Ok that was a pretty good hug but I meant to drunkenly babble at you for hours, so now I owe you one of those. And I also owe you another hug because they make me feel good.
