That recipe has made them a staple on screens big and small: the duo's music has been featured everywhere from <I>Grey's Anatomy</I> to <I>The Devil Wears Prada</I> and from <I>Law and Order</I> to Victoria's Secret advertisements. The group came together when singer Shana Halligan responded to a Craigslist post from Kiran Shahani, formerly of the Supreme Beings of Leisure. They released their debut album, <I>The Mating Game</I>, in 2006 and quickly became KCRW favorites for their suave blend of swinging, '60s-driven cool and laid-back breakbeats. The following year found 21st Century hepcats like Thievery Corporation and Nicola Conte putting a clubbier spin on the material. In 2008, the duo returned with <I>Drama</I>. The blend of bitter and sweet remained the same, but with more emphasis on filmic strings and Parisian cafe ambiance, their tall, cool drink of pouty poise was even smoother. - Philip SherburneDowntempoen720Tue, 1 Dec 2009 05:31:35 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.9422388&rws=%2Fbittersweet%2Fdiscography.rss L.A.'s Bitter:Sweet shake up a downtempo cocktail of bossa nova, lounge jazz, '60s soundtracks, vintage French pop and just a smidgen of space-age bachelor pad music.
