New Wendy & Lisa: Balloon

July 26th, 2008 by Pete - - Posted in Pop, Prince, Rock |

Prince may have dropped Wendy & Lisa from the band back in the 80’s, but the ladies certainly never hung it up and called it a day. They’ve released a number of well received albums over the years, and contributed to film and television scores (e.g. Heroes).

Late this week, Wendy & Lisa announced a new album, White Flags of Winter Chimneys. Along with the news comes the lead track available for download on their website and their MySpace. The song is called “Balloon”, an atmospheric, gently haunting tune. Check out the stream here, then go over to W&L’s place to download.

    I adore this track. It seems to continue the musical direction they started taking with the Girl Bros. Album (which I also adore). I am so excited for this new album!

    PS…is it just me, or does Lisa look a little Mary McDonnel-ish in that cover art?

    I had to look up Mary McDonnell - and I was thrilled to see she played Stands With a Fist from ‘Dances with Wolves’! Had a big crush on her… Ta-tonka!!
