You & I

You & I

0 - Default Title
Description
The irresistible, magnetic vocal harmonies of The Pierces - Alabama-bred, New York-based sisters Allison and Catherine -take a giant step forward as the two singer-songwriters become the newest members of the Mercury Records artist roster, a division of Island Def Jam Music Group. Mercury will introduce The Pierces this month at special shows at the Mercury Lounge in New York City on January 11-12th; and the Hotel Caf in Los Angeles on January 17th. The Pierces' fourth album, YOU & I, set for U.S. release on March 27, 2012, is also their first with production duo the Darktones, aka Grammy Award-winning Coldplay bassist Guy Berryman and Grammy-winning Coldplay producer Rik Simpson. In the UK, the Guardian hailed The Pierces as "heart stopping and extraordinary"; Q magazine called them "a life affirming delight"; and the Times praised their "honeyed harmonies and huge pop hooks." Currently at triple-A radio in the U.S. is the advance single "You'll Be Mine," which had the distinction of besting Adele in the UK as the Most-Played song in the first quarter of 2011 at BBC Radio 2. YOU & I, released May 2011 in the UK, entered the national chart at #4 and was certified gold. Three subsequent singles, "Glorious," "Kissing You Goodbye," and "It Will Not Be Forgotten" all received Top 10 airplay and were A-listed on national BBC Radio. The Pierces' distinctive vocals, percolating under the mainstream over the course of their first three albums and a dozen haunting videos, were indelibly etched in the tv public's imagination back in 2008, when "Secret" ("two can keep a secret/ if one of them is dead," a song from their third album, Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge) was heard on the CW's Gossip Girl. The on-screen performance of "Secret" (at the infamous cotillion ball) solidified the song, which was heard in promos for Dexter, and in European tv promos as well. In 2010, "Secret" was heard as the theme song for the series Pretty Little Liars (ABC Family)
