PRESS RELEASE: White Flags of Winter Chimneys

WENDY AND LISA’S WHITE FLAGS OF WINTER CHIMNEYS TO BE RELEASED EXCLUSIVELY ONLINE IN DECEMBER.

Los Angeles, CA - Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman, better known as the legendary duo Wendy and Lisa, have announced the upcoming release of their new album, White Flags of Winter Chimneys. It will be released exclusively on their web site wendyandlisa.com in December, to be followed with a CD release in February 2009.

White Flags of Winter Chimneys is Wendy and Lisa’s first album since 1998’s Girl Bros. Self-produced and self-released by the duo, the album is a gorgeous kaleidoscope of song-compositions with influences ranging from trance to electronica to 70’s funk and straight up rock and roll.

The renowned fine artist and graphic designer Rex Ray, whose artwork has adorned albums by David Bowie, Diamanda Galas, Deee-Lite and many others, designed the album packaging. Additionally, the packaging of the CD will be a 6-panel Digipak comprised of recycled board, printed using non-toxic vegetable based ink, and a FlexTray made from 100% post-consumer plastic (recycled soda bottles).
Wendy and Lisa are also continuing in their successful television-scoring career. Currently, they are in their third season of scoring the NBC-TV hit “Heroes,” and they are taking on the scoring duties for the upcoming “Virtuality” on Fox and “Nurse Jackie” on Showtime. They have received the prestigious ASCAP award for Composer’s of the Year for their work on Dangerous Minds, the theme to HBO’s Carnivale, Crossing Jordan and Heroes.

Wendy and Lisa first burst upon the consciousness of the music world in the early 80’s as part of Prince’s Revolution, where the two were Prince’s most trusted collaborators and partners for what arguably was the most seismic chapter of the legend’s career. Striking out on their own in 1986, they have released four well-regarded albums: Wendy and Lisa (1987), Fruit at the Bottom (1989), Eroica (1990), and Girl Bros. (1998).

I agree

My iTunes say's I played "Ballon" 43 times!
I love that song. Can't wait for the whole album.

I just checked and I have played Invisible 34 times. Like Balloon too...really looking forward to hearing the album!

Wish I knew the exact date :shrugs:

I've not heard Ballon yet, but I loved Balloon - one of the best songs I've heard this year in actual fact. Bring it on!

I love their work. I will buy their stuff no matter what. Thanks for the heads up.

I hope it's as good as Girl Bros. Maybe a little different and less depressing.
