Subject: Chris & Thomas - new CD, Land of Sea
Hadn't heard of this duo until they were on NPR on World Cafe, recently. Found their myspace page and have really been enjoying their songs, harmony, and pickin'. Have a listen: Click Here. Here's what NPR says ( they list themselves as "Indie/Folk/Alternative"):

The folk-pop duo Chris and Thomas formed when the pair was enrolled at art school in Liverpool, where they played shows while earning music degrees in film composition. After a stint running a traveling cooking show out of an old utility van, the duo relocated to Los Angeles and self-released the Vista Street Sessions EP. A whirlwind of touring and recording followed, as buzz built for a follow-up.

Vista Street Sessions laid the groundwork for the new full-length Land of Sea in more ways than one — the new disc repurposes five of its six tracks — but Land of Sea builds on its promise with remarkable new songs, gorgeous harmonies (think Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) and crisp production by renowned producer/engineer Mark Howard.
