$600,000

We still need to raise 400,000: Whether you can give $5 or $500, it all matters.

Liner notes: “Kiss me while you dry your hair/Kiss me in your underwear,” Emily Sills sings in this duet with bandmate Gary Cansell, channeling the exuberance of an old Broadway musical.

Behind the music: The UK sextet is named after a doomed romance from Greek mythology. But its shiny debut is more optimistic.
