2 Cool Cats

“2 Cool Cats” is the stunning new album from Tasmanian electro-acoustic folk/rock duo The Sign, following on from their acclaimed release Singles. Featuring Jo Volta on 12-string acoustic guitar and vocals, and Paul Volta on 6-string acoustic guitar and vocals, this album captures the unmistakable chemistry and sonic depth that have become their signature.

Each track showcases the duo’s beautifully tight, intricate harmonies, led by Jo’s powerful, emotive vocals and supported by Paul’s rich tone and seamless harmonization. Written with care and insight by Jo, and recorded and produced by Paul, 2 Cool Cats is a testament to artistic precision and authenticity.

All songs are performed in open C tuning and guitars tuned to 432 kHz, giving the album its warm, resonant, and almost otherworldly sound. Despite being an acoustic duo, The Sign deliver a huge, full-bodied sound that defies expectations—effortlessly moving between folk, grunge, blues, and rock with emotional honesty and musical finesse.

A year in the making, from first lyric to final mix, 2 Cool Cats was beautifully mastered by award-winning engineer/producer Chris Thompson, ensuring every nuance and harmony shines. The result is a deeply engaging and sonically rich album that proves once again: The Sign sound like no one else.
