In the music world we have had the pleasure of many identical twins who have shared their combined talents to entertain us. Artists like The Proclaimers Charlie and Craig Reid, known for their hit "I"m Gonna Be (500 Miles) ", Canadians Tegan and Sara who gained fame in the indie pop scene with multiple award-winning albums, and The Veronicas, Australians Lisa and Jessica Origliasso known for their pop-rock hits. In Brooklyn, NY identical twins Ruby and Sasha have begun to emerge as up and comers.

Both ladies were first touched by the music bug singing in choirs and penning their own lyrics. When they finally settled in the same city is when they began writing and singing as a duo. They were raised with the sounds of Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens, Simon & Garfunkel, and Sufjan Stevens. Presently they have been inspired by The Staves, Waxahatchee, Samia, Boygenius, and many more.


Their current track "Hay Fever" is the second release due to be a part of a debut EP. The single is inspired by the common allergy that affects many around this time of the year. During this season it is normally uplifting but "Hay Fever" touches upon a different kind of feeling seeing the beauty but not so attainable as one may think. The desire to capture the vibrance and energetic feeling normally attributed to this season, yet a sense of absence is present. The guitar solo is a build up to what is to become a ride of discovery and understanding of how to attain the happiness one searches for.

"Our hope is that people connect to the lyrics in whatever way feels true to them. The song was born out of the feeling of isolation that can come once winter has passed and everyone seems to be outside enjoying their lives while the world is suddenly full of beauty. Seeing all of that around you when you're feeling unhappy or depressed can be incredibly lonely, so I hope the song gives other people going through that something to connect with. I don"t think I was consciously trying to write about spirituality, but I do think the song is about searching for relief from something that feels bigger than you. In that sense, I think yearning for an elusive kind of magic or spirituality is a beautiful way of describing the desire to feel aligned with the world again. So, I love that interpretation."

The new EP which includes "Hay Fever" is due to drop in September. Ruby and Sasha have been performing around the New York area for some time and recently took the stage at Pete's Candy Store on August 7th. These identical twins plan on making a serious splash on the music scene so keep your eyes peeled.
