Bass lines on other CDs are great. would like them here
MonaLisa Twins in their purest form…. guitars, perfect vocals, some percussion…. Totally recommended!.
I have all the twins albums(CD’s) & each one keeps getting better. I like everyone else on the planet enjoy the beautiful harmonies & great arrangements.
I’ve got all of MonaLisa Twins’ CD’s. Their renditions of Beatles and other 60s artists, plus their own songs are, shall we say, “music to my ears.” I post their YouTubes all the time on Facebook for others to see. They are the real deal! Vielen Dank!
Mix of original and classic songs is an outstanding listen.
Great
As always, excellent musicianship, beautiful harmony singing. The originals really benefit from the stripped down approach.
It’s expensive to get product shipped from the UK to Australia. Not much anyone can do about that, but it does mean that Bandcamp looks increasingly attractive. Perhaps for those of us on the other side of the world, you might consider putting more of your catalog onto Bandcamp?
Anyway, I love your music folks and I always look forward new releases.
Cheers, Dave from South Australia
It must be really hard for artists, like Mona+Lisa, when you can’t go out and play (music that is). How do you get creative and how to earn a crust? So the solution – the Duo Album is a win win solution. Win for us because we get some great tunes presented in a different way. And with many of the tracks a better way. I have Orange and When We’re Together so to hear some of those tracks repackaged on this album was treat. I love the raw energy that comes across in the Duo recordings (as opposed to the polished “studio” versions) as a live tracks.
Favorites? The hand clapping on “Tired of Waiting” , the childlike backing on “Sweet Lorraine” – in fact that song is brilliant on the Duo Album. My firm favourite at the moment is “Close to You” (the lyrics have a resonance for me and the delivery is spot on) but “Here Comes the Sun” could have been written for the MonaLisa Twins.
Thank you for sharing.
the duo sessions are good to listen too your songs put a different way to listen the originals BUT and this is a big BUT your album orange is great especially shill a friend of mine I can’t get it out of my head and wide wide land so next album will be when we’re together.
I hadn’t heard of the MonaLisa Twins until 3 weeks ago. I’ve been a musician all my life, I’m 50, and I think musicians get harder to impress over the years. I’ve been blown away by the sheer quality of the arrangements, performances and recordings. I’ve spent 3 hour round-trip commute today listening to the ‘Beatles and More’ album – each track is a revelation. “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” nearly reduced me to tears on the A505. To you both, you are the freshest and most astonishing sound I have heard in music for years.
