The two sisters in 2:54, the Irish-born and London-based duo, make grandly gloomy windswept rock music, something like the xx if they were more revved-up and shoegazey. They were a Band To Watch in 2011, and they released their self-titled debut in 2012, but they’ve been relatively quiet lately. So here’s their big return. They’ve signed to new label Bella Union Records, and they’ve got an as-yet-untitled new album coming later this year. First single “Orion” is dark and majestic and synthy, and it sounds more like the Cure than anything they’ve done before.
2:54 – aka sisters Hannah and Colette Thurlow – have unveiled ‘Orion’, the first taste of their highly–anticipated second album, which will be released worldwide later this year on their new label home Bella Union. The epic track, streamed and accompanied by enigmatic moving image artwork, was posted this morning by the band across their social networks, as they confirmed they’ll be releasing their second album later this year.
