Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing their exploration of complex, jazz-inflected vocal harmonies, the Dedrick siblings offer an achingly precise sophomore effort. 'You Could Be Born Again' pairs immaculate, airy counterpoint with both wistful originals and uniquely arranged contemporary covers. While its pristine sound was out of step with the heavy rock dominating the charts, it became a foundational text for later generations of indie pop enthusiasts.
