Review of White Flags and Winter Chimneys

I have used this review on Amazon.

It ceases to amaze me that Wendy and Lisa is still not being given the recognition they completely deserve.

Yes, they are the women from Prince's Revolution. However, more impotently these women need to be seen outside of Prince's shadow.

They are both incredibly talented musicians who can write music outside of the notes, chords, and time signatures. They are not formula churning musicians and never have been.

Wendy and Lisa create musical textures. Textures you can feel and embrace. Their music has a way of pulling you in, and wanting more. They are always looking for different tones, textures and ways of creating embracing layers to bring the listener into the experience.

Wendy and Lisa are the most versatile artists I have ever encountered. They have released five albums, none of which sound anything like the other, yet still carry a similar intangible theme throughout each of them.

White Flags of Winter Chimneys is an album which to me carries atmospheric themed melodies augmented by rich layers of pianos, keyboards, vocals, acoustic and electric guitars. The rhythmic and percussive layers create an additional depth of steadiness to help keep the listener grounded while listening to the hypnotic melodies.

This album also has songs which makes your want to roll down your windows to let all around you hear!

You will be carried through all the raw emotions of love lost, defiance, perseverance, forgiveness and love found.
