Girl Bros. Network Exclusive Interview

It's been 10 years since the release of your last studio album Girl Bros., tell us about your latest album White Flags of Winter Chimneys and why it took 10 years? What was the inspiration?

Wendy:

It came at a time when the film and TV industry went into a tailspin from the writers strike. We decided to take that time and make this record. We had songs that were already written but decided to toss all of them to discover a new and vital sound.

If we could have made this record sooner I’m not sure it would have been as good. All the planets aligned for us on this record.

Lisa:

It took ten years because we play VERY SLOWLY. We record maybe one chord every few days. it has to be JUST RIGHT! And so it just took a really looooong time! OK. THAT IS NOT TRUE

Um... A lot of life happened in those ten years. After releasing Girl Bros. and traveling to promote that the best we could, without the support of a label or promoter, we started getting a lot of scoring offers. Crossing Jordan, Carnivale, and a few independent films... etc. We also had met Neil Finn during the mixing of Girl Bros. through Tchad Blake, and traveled to New Zealand and subsequently all over the world playing and recording with him.
