So they've been out on the road this summer, touring as part of She & Him's band (opening selected shows as well), and still garnering accolades for their 2008 debut album Lake Bottom: that's the Chapin Sisters, a/ka/ Tom Chapin's little gals Abigail and Lily. With their second album Two arriving in stores on Sept. 14, we've got a preview in MP3 format. Just click the link to get a free download:

MP3: "Palm Tree"

To record the album Lily and Abigail, along with co-producers Jesse Lee (Gang Gang Dance) and Louie Stephens (Rooney), retreated to an old family farm in rural New Jersey where they put-together a studio and recorded. The record incorporates lush keyboards, layered percussion, electric guitars and warm, rich vocal tones, in addition to the staple acoustic guitar and three part-harmonies that the sisters are already known for. (The third Chapin Sister, Jessica, is on temporary hiatus at the moment in order to spend time with her new baby.) After the album comes out, expect more touring from the sisters - dates tba.
