The Watson Twins - Southern Manners

This is very nice (much better than the Jenny Lewis & the Watson Twins stuff I've heard, by the way) - a melding of folk, country, general americana and a bit of an inoffensive easy-listening strain (best song "High School" would have fit right in on the Virgin Suicides soundtrack, which I've actually been listening to a bit lately, goodness knows why). Hem is the closest analogy I can think of, with touches of the Cowboy Junkies, Mazzy Star (sans electric guitar) and the Sundays stirred in...
