'White Flags of Winter Chimneys' is Wendy and Lisa's first album since 1998's Girl Bros. Self-produced and self-released by the duo, the album is a gorgeous kaleidoscope of song-compositions with influences ranging from trance to electronica to 70's funk and straight up rock and roll.
The renowned fine artist and graphic designer Rex Ray, whose artwork has adorned albums by David Bowie, Diamanda Galas, Deee-Lite and many others, designed the album packaging. Additionally, the packaging of the CD will be a 6-panel Digipak comprised of recycled board, printed using non-toxic vegetable based ink, and a FlexTray made from 100% post-consumer plastic (recycled soda bottles).
Wendy and Lisa are also continuing in their successful television-scoring career. Currently, they are in their third season of scoring the NBC-TV hit "Heroes," and they are taking on the scoring duties for the upcoming "Virtuality" on Fox and "Nurse Jackie" on Showtime.
They have received the prestigious ASCAP award for Composer's of the Year for their work on Dangerous Minds, the theme to HBO's Carnivale, Crossing Jordan and Heroes.
Wendy and Lisa first burst upon the consciousness of the music world in the early 80's as part of Prince's Revolution, where the two were Prince's most trusted collaborators and partners for what arguably was the most seismic chapter of the legend's career.
Striking out on their own in 1986, they have released four well-regarded albums: Wendy and Lisa (1987), Fruit at the Bottom (1989), Eroica (1990), and Girl Bros. (1998).
