Sirens in corduroy

I guess they're not technically in cords on the album cover, but the Roche sisters certainly exude that vibe. Their folk fusion is much more snarky, cynical '70s than embarrassingly literal, shrill '60s. And they can sing. Together. In impressive harmony. I like 'em.

This would probably be their hit. Sort of a minimal, wise-ass "She's Leaving Home," from a perspective that's jealous and bitter rather than heartbroken and resigned.
And yes that's Robert Fripp making awesome cameos around the 2 and 4 minute marks. Dude knows just where to put those notes. Plus triangle! Delish.
