Slice is the eagerly awaited third album from Watermelon Sugar, the duo of Louise Bendall and Hypatia Kingsley. Lovingly cultivated for the past two and a half years, WS has produced their best collection of songs yet. No guest artists this time, little effects, just pure, sweet and kick ass acoustic Watermelon Sugar from start to finish. We do hope you enjoy!
Watermelon Sugar is an indie folk duo rooted in soulful vocal harmonies, multi-instrumental musings and the twenty-year friendship of Hypatia Kingsley and Louise Bendall. Their voices, guitars, banjo, violin and mandolin blend to create original music made sweetly and felt deeply. Having met in Pennsylvania, the two began to musically collaborate in 2001 and became a "band" in 2003. Their first CD, Sample, was released in October of 2004 and second CD, Something to Savor, in November 2005. Slice is their third album, released March of 2008. Although the two members now make their homes half a world apart in Hong Kong and North Carolina, they manage to get the most out of the creative process together in sometimes frenzied gig and recording sessions.
