Halos Round the Moon

The singer/songwriter duo who bewitches US with the rule of three: their roots: Belgian, Greek and Australian, their music - akin to the Chinese symbol for listening which is made up of three symbols: head, ear and heart - holds delights for each. To the head: almost inevitable, given their international cultural background, that their art addresses the state of the world as a poetic whole. The ear picks up on the hymnic refrain Aheyla of the opening track as akin to hallelujah, and catches on the lyrics, when poets are priests; and what comes as a surprise to the listener's ear: The deliciously buoyant, dreamlike quality of the melodies accompanying even lyrics with more serious and reflective themes.
