U.K. sister act 2:54 are preparing to release its debut, self-titled album on May 29 on Fiction. The band’s early singles have received praise from Pitchfork. In recent weeks, they’ve been touring in support of the XX.


From the band’s website:
Londonbased sisters Colette and Hannah Thurlow formed 2:54 in 2010 and quickly garnered plaudits with their self-produced demo of ‘Creeping’. Tours with Warpaint, Yuck and Melissa der Maur followed as well as the band’s debut single release ‘On A Wire / Cold Front’ on the House Anxiety label. 2:54′s first release for Fiction was the critically acclaimed Scarlet EP and the band will release their debut album, recorded with Rob Ellis and Alan Moulder, in 2012. The band’s moniker comes from their favourite moment in the Melvin’s track ‘History Of Bad Men’.
