New single from US super-duo My Sister My Brother redefines the phrase “A breath of fresh air”

My Sister My Brother is the duo formed by Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer Garrison Starr and her sometime partner, singer/songwriter Sean McConnell. Both are well-known as independent solo performers, each famed for the quality of their songwriting and their forthright vocal styles. Together, as My Sister My Brother, they raise the stakes to a whole new level, with their rapturous vocal harmonies.

The pair first wrote together during a ‘songwriting retreat’ and their combination worked so well that they emerged with the heartwarming Nothing Without You, a song that was to become a cornerstone of the duo’s self-titled 2020 debut EP. Now, Garrison and Sean are looking towards the future; a full-length album is in the pipeline for release later this year – in September, in fact – and the tasters for that album are starting to ease out into circulation. Last month saw the emergence of the first of those singles – Cry Me A River – and, now, along comes the newie, the bright, fresh Another Life.

Of the new single, and, indeed, of their partnership, Garrison has this to say: “Another Life was a fun song to write. It felt unexpected musically as it was coming out. Almost like the ghosts of our heroes were singing and playing through us. Sean and I have joked a lot about how we may have been separated at birth, so we explored some of that idea in this song. It has a spontaneity about it that I love.”

And the song itself? Well – I’ve already used the words “fresh and bright” to describe it; Think of The Doobie Brothers in their best California freeway mood, and you’ll get the picture. The strummed acoustic guitars shimmer with a vibrancy that you can almost see, and the lyrics are full of joyful recollections. Garrison delivers a delicious lead vocal, whilst those famed harmonies are given a full and free rein during the chorus. Summer is here, and My Sister My Brother have come up with the season’s theme just in time!
