Tegan & Sara, the Watson Twins, the Veronicas. Sometimes, twins can make the best built-in bandmates. Our newest twin sensation is an import from Iceland, Pascal Pinon, featuring sisters Jofridur and Asthildur along with friends Halla and Kristin. The band’s self-titled debut, which will be released in the U.S. on December 3 via Morr Music, earned them a nomination for newcomer of the year at last year’s Icelandic Music Awards, and it’s not hard to see why. Songs like “New Beginning” feature whispery vocals and folky, rustic guitar strumming with lyrics that make these girls sound much older and wiser than their 16 years.
