过去十年来，Inara George、Becky Stark与Eleni Mandell在各自的音乐组合与乐团中享受歌唱，创作与录音的乐趣，她们一直想组个团，这个梦想在2010年随着她们组成了The Living Sisters，发行首张专辑《Love To Live》而实现了，她们把彼此都很喜欢的乡村、灵魂、福音、爵士以及1950-60年代的传统流行音乐风格，全都放到了专辑里头。她们以亲切动人的重唱与和声、配搭怀旧气息的流行乐乐器编曲风格，带出一首首有着朗朗上口的旋律，流露着淡淡诗意的歌词。 《Love To Live》专辑由曾经制作过Rickie Lee Jones专辑《Balm In Gilead》，为她与他乐团She & Him专辑担任录音工程的制作人Sheldon Gomberg掌舵制作，从开场曲〈How Are You Doing?〉那个和声扬起的刹那，到最后一首歌〈Don`t Let The Sun Go Down〉那个和声缓缓的淡出为止，The Living Sisters三重唱为这个世界带来了和谐的感觉，示范了歌声所能营造的愉悦感受。三位团员表示，她们在录唱这张处女作的时候，整个过程都洋溢着欢乐的气氛，还说差点要变成喜剧乐团，她们希望世界上的每一个人都能快乐的歌唱，同时也能从和乐融融的歌声中找到生活所需的力量。 The Living Sisters are a new band composed of Eleni Mandell, The Bird & The Bee’s Inara George, and Lavender Diamond’s Becky Stark. The group’s debut album will be released March 30th and features the trio singing pretty vintage pop melodies. “How Are You Doing” blends Andrews Sisters harmonies with an AM radio light twang. The girls croon sweetly on the doo-wop tunes “Ferris Wheel” and “You Make Me Blue.” “Cradle” puts a sultry spin on a gentle Patti Page vocal style. “Good Ole Wagon” reminds me of She & Him’s retro-influenced indie sound, but “Hold Back” is pure Eleni Mandell. “The Mountain Has Skies” reaches the lofty heights of Judy Collins’ angelic soprano. The handclap pop ditty “Double Knots” is the catchiest track on the album.
