If Carmen and Camille’s 2009 single “Shine 4U” did not make an appearance on your summer playlist, it’s time to get a head-start on planning for next year by adding the Vancouver duo to your must-hear list.
Twin sisters Carmen and Camille burst onto the scene with their 2007 debut, Two. The album caught on with the MTV crowd, getting plays on The Hills and TRL. Press recognition of the album landed them a television show, which is currently in development. They followed-up Two with 2009’s digital EP, Don’t Play Me Out. In between releases, Carmen and Camille filled time touring, which they do as a six-piece.
Carmen and Camille, who write their own music and lyrics, aren’t the typical TRL fluff one might expect. The duo writes their own music and lyrics, with the end result being great indie pop/rock jams, the perfect music for a sunny summer day, or at least a day when one might want to conjure up the spirit of summer. Sure, they may not win over many indie-rock purists who refuse to listen to anything but 30-something year old men with beards, but who wants to invite them to the party anyhow?
