Name of a two-member guy/girl band?

June 3, 2008 5:57 PM

Trying to remember the name of a band...

...that may or may not exist. I think I remember the following vague details about them:

-They are a two member band, made up of one man and one woman. Both are young and good-looking.
-They are relatively new, I think from the past couple of years.
-They are an indie, I think folky type band, that I believe has been mentioned on Pitchfork/Stereogum type sites.
-They may have a video/album cover in which the two of them are singing in a car together. Maybe another video in which one or both of them are riding bikes?
-Their name might be of the form "(his name) & (her name)".
-It's not She & Him or Matt and Kim (I don't think).

That's the best I can do for now. Any ideas?

The White Stripes? In their video of The Denial Twist they get into a car about halfway through the video. (Can be seen here along with their other videos)

I paid $5 to answer a question. That's weird.

It's Fiery Furnaces. They have a publicity pic in a car. They're also brother and sister.
