Lily & Madeleine are sisters from Indianapolis whose session clip for “In the Middle” was upvoted on Reddit enough times this January to catch the ears of Sufjan Stevens.

March’s The Weight of the Globe EP was a fine introduction to their knack for memorable folk melodies, but take in the self-aware precociousness of “Devil We Know” above, where the pair earn even greater promise.
