The Chapin Sisters' new album two just came out, but I don't have a copy yet. So instead, here is their earlier release, an EP, Oh, Hear the Wind Blow. They're on tour with She and Him, and oddly enough, I feel that the Chapin Sisters are far more original and talented. She and Him should be opening for them.
Alas that won't happen, so all I can do is tell you how beautiful this album is. Amazing harmonies, songs, and their backup band rocks too. They have quite a full sound for a folk duo- which is refreshing as it goes against the grain.
At times they sound like a modern-day folk version of CSNY or any of that era's great folk-rock, and I mean this more as an actual comparison than a compliment. They get a little psychedelic at times-more in the modern psych-folk vein than the original 60's psychedelic one however.
As far as I'm concerned, they are one of the best traditional folk-rock artists around.
I will get their new album soon, and if anyone is interested I will post it here.

Thanks for the link. I agree with you that She & him got nothing on them. Their vocal harmonies are just sublime.
