Kingdom

The second studio album from Dublin's Ellie and Louise Macnamara, better known by their celluloid-inspired alias Heathers (a reference to the Winona Ryder and Christian Slater-starring 1988 cult classic of the same name), retains the raised, punk-folk backbone that served as the foundation for their 2007 debut, and adds a punchy, radio-ready sheen that propels each cut into the pop stratosphere with explosive results.
