Reverie - The Morning Of

Typically I'm not a huge fan of bands with two lead singers.  I find without the single-mindedness of one singer, the overall tone of the song clashes with itself.  The Morning Of is the perfect exception.  Never before have I heard such a flawless synthesis of two distinct voices, male and female I might add.

Reverie is a heart wrenching plea for freedom from the city life with some (not-so) subtle love lyrics.  Both Justin Wiley and Jessica Leplon have surprisingly strong voices.  The band seems to make sure to not overpower their harmonizing voices or the prettyish piano with the bass or the electric guitar.  Haha.  It's pretty.  I like it.
