The Kletters are identical twins, and Dear Enemy reflects a disturbing uniformity of musical vision.
Several numbers are semi-tragic portraits of family life and sisterhood.
All this complexity is wrapped in a tuneful musical package that, though it doesn't make you forget the song's scarifying candor, does take away some of the sting. It's a Beautiful Day. Lightly clicking drumsticks promote the song's sardonic feel. It's a fairy tale, but you find yourself longing for the Kletters' never-never land. Ultimately, this disc's a downer.
