friends with voices

Today I stumbled upon a "Top 10 Chicago Indie Albums" post on the Chicago Tribune site and it included our friends Alex and Francis from Busy Beaver! Here's what Greg Kot had to say about the brother and sister duo named White Mystery:

"At 24, Alex White is already a seasoned veteran in the Chicago underground scene, a one-woman tornado with a voice that can blow down walls. With her younger brother, Francis, on drums, she makes what is in many ways her most stripped-down album, and that's saying something. Whether describing a crumbling relationship or a stroll around the city, the duo radiates can't-be-denied joy and revels in rescuing melodies from the chaos they throw down.
