The twin sister duo of Alanna and Brianne Finn-Morris started busking folk tunes when they were 12. A decade or so later, they’re making banging pop anthems for 604 Records. Louise Burns produced their ’70s-inspired 2018 EP, Sad Pagans, while 2021 singles “Dirty Dancing” and “Taste for It” push the duo’s sound forward with bubbly disco beats and towering pop choruses.
