The Webb Sisters - Daylight Crossing

Presently, they decided to settle in Venice Beach, living in what Hattie likes to term now as "an artists' commune, full of creative people - as well as the occasional tramp", where they would write and play together, swap ideas and spend lazy Sunday afternoons hosting mushroom tea parties. "Which were fun," she says.

The sisters were soon spotted and landed a publishing deal. A record deal soon followed and the creation of 'Daylight Crossing' began. They wrote and recorded songs collaborating with musicians such as Mike Elizondo (Eminem, Fiona Apple) and Jeff Trott (Sheryl Crow, Aimee Mann). Two years later , the sisters returned to the UK when they came to the attention of Mercury Records and it was here that they recorded their debut album. Production came from two bonafide heavyweights: Steve Lipson (Sting, Annie Lennox) and Youth (The Verve, Dido).

And the result? The result is rather fine - an uncommonly assured, West Coast-flavoured album at turns wistful ('I Still Hear It'), WATCH THE VIDEO, lush ('Torches') and even vigorously windswept. 'Everything Changes' closes the album, and is an explosion of torrid, edge-of-the-cliff emotion. It lasts for five minutes and 19 seconds, and climaxes flat on its back, quite breathless.
