Pemberley

Rumblefish on the new EP "I'm Fine":



"This Floridian band owes much of its sweet ‘n’ tart sound to the interplay of crunchy guitars and wistful synths with the piquant harmonies of its dueling Rachels. Singers Rachel Margaret and Rachel Lyn combine their girlish coos into dreamily tuneful vocal lines that are, at once, ethereal and pleasingly tart, layering their feminine voices over harder-edged instrumentation like echo-laden guitars and muscular drums. Like the Cardigans, there is an icy effervescence to Pemberley, who can sound either playfully pop or bittersweet and bruised, depending on the circumstances in which their bright, emotive harmonies are placed.

Creative Loafing Magazine On the new EP "I'm Fine":



"The current Pemberley lineup recently finished its first proper EP. The five songs are marked by the close harmonies of the two Rachels and Margaret's mature lyrics about love's vagaries. Sonically, it's a streamlined, delicately layered meld of reverb-drenched guitar, keyboards and slippery percussion that results in subtle hooks and lingering melodies. Margaret's spooky violin makes appearances, as well. There's a haunting, ethereal quality to her voice that's often arresting, particularly on the lynchpin number, "Wake Up, It's Raining." The track runs nearly five minutes and includes cutting lines like, "The house where we once played is now an empty grave."
