Lead vocalists Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe of the indie pop band Lucius are used to being confused for twins. Not only do these inseparable best friends dress alike, but their voices blend together in perfect harmony. Now, they've re-recorded their breakout album, Wildewoman, to recreate the spark and energy of their early career. Laessig and Wolfe join Q's Tom Power to talk about the album, their friendship, and what they learned singing backup for Joni Mitchell.
