Wishful Thinking by The Ditty Bops
Purveying an utterly charming sound that borrows from folk, pop, Western swing, and early vocal jazz, Los Angeles' fancifully named Ditty Bops feature the tightly woven harmonies of Amanda Barrett - who also handles mandolin and dulcimer duties - and Abby DeWald - who also plays guitar. Though Barrett and DeWald met in New York City in the late '90s, they didn't begin playing music until they moved back to California. Barrett spent her childhood in Topanga and learned to play fretted dulcimer when she was six, then moved to Europe to model as a teen before moving to New York in her early twenties. DeWald, meanwhile, grew up in northern California and took piano lessons as a child; growing up in a house where only classical was played, she nevertheless developed a fascination with ragtime music and electric blues.

I first saw this video on Logo. It's a great video and I love the song. Not my usual type of music when it comes to taste, but I can't help but enjoy it!
