"Forget confining The Skipperdees to some arbitrary genre. However you file it, the new release from twins Emily and Catherine Backus is in the upper echelon of 2013 releases ... Often quirky and at other points painfully serious, these dozen songs—produced by folk guru Jim White—showcase some of the best songwriting you’re apt to find in Athens, or anywhere else... 5 out of 5." -Dan Mistich, Flagpole Magazine

The Skipperdees hail from Oak Ridge, TN, where their mother recently retired from a nuclear weapons plant. They write sad songs but are happy people. Drop a line at [email protected].
