Friends-since-kindergarten Miranda Zeiger and Jessica Vohs write songs as Willow Willow (named for the 1969 by Love), and back in 2007 the Bay Area natives collaborated with now-Los Angeles resident Bart Davenport on a full-length album of clever, harmony-laden pop. Fast-forward to now, and the pair have also relocated to L.A. Their new album “Listening to Music,” co-produced by Luke Top of Fool’s Gold and Michael Harris, throws back to the girl-group music of the 1950s and ’60s, sunny and cherubic if a bit crafty with its harmonies. If your idea of a day-brightener is a melody or three that will stick around for the morning after (or if you need something sweet for your next episode of that TV drama you’re plotting), you might try “Listening to Music.”
