Lily & Madeleine and Brian Dunne at 7th Street Entry

Lily & Madeleine is an American folk pop duo composed of sisters Lily and Madeleine Jurkiewicz. For their fifth studio album, Nite Swim, Lily and Madeleine joined forces with longtime friend and bandmate Shannon Hayden to produce and mix the album. Shannon also contributed much of the instrumentation on the record. Over ten tracks, Nite Swim guides the listener through scenes of Lily and Madeleine's lives, collectively as sisters and individually as artists. Each song reveals the wins, losses, and lessons learned over the last 10 years, the sisters' voices pristinely set within Shannon's beautifully choreographed instrumentation. It is an album that reveals a hard won maturity and offers a greater vulnerability than their past albums, though it is a vulnerability from a place of deep confidence and reclaimed ownership of their musical careers.

Known for his laugh-to-keep-from-crying, darkly humorous lyrics, Dunne’s work is born from a healthy New York cynicism self-conceptualized, funded, and dragged to every willing venue, found an easy home at Kill Rock Stars along the likes of The Decemberists, Jeff Hanson, and Sleater-Kinney. Releasing his fourth album in early 2023, his first on KRS, Dunne is bending the sounds of American rock into masterfully composed, existentially poignant, wildly catchy renderings of being alive.
