This band will no doubt receive comparisons to Joanna Newsom, for example: the singers voice is very close to Newsoms yet it is frankly, more bearable for for albums-length of tracks, secondly the singer, Rebecca Redman, does in fact play the harp. The differences is that Watercolor Paintings is a brothers/sister duo and takes much more influence from 90s twee folk bands and less from hippie culture. Watercolor Paintings full-length is currently somewhat hard to get ahold of but you can purchase their 7-inches here and here.
