Colleen and Paul

Looking back later, someone will list the sounds of summer, 2010 edition. There may be a Gaga; figure on Katy Perry's California Gurls for sure. Overlooked will be the debut from the tuneful folk-pop duo who sign their kindly invitations "Colleen and Paul." These two Toronto singer-songwriter pals have a way with butterfly harmonies, melodic jingles - Crepe Suzette recalls the theme to WKRP in Cincinnati - and gentle psychedelic evocations of the post-Kennedy era. There are Jack Johnson surfer waves, and fireflies in July too. All are easy to catch.
