Seattle-based brother and sister folk duo The Native Sibling craft impeccable folk pop that breaks the mold.
It seems the duo has deconstructed their sound since their 2014 album, Letters Kept to Ourselves, which showcased the bands rustic vocal blend, finding its way to over a million listeners on Spotify and landing positive nods from the likes of iTunes and Daytrotter. Their newest single, “How to Win,” still makes use of their charming harmonies, but finds new life in minor key melodies and offbeat vocal interplay.
The video for “How to Win” is a perfect accompaniment to the track, bathing the duo in the noirish light of an underground studio as they perform for each other. It’s well-balanced, unpretentious, and delicate. Much like the source material.
“How to Win” is from the forthcoming album Hammer is Heart, due in stores early next year.
