專輯名稱：Stand Still,Look Pretty
'Stand still, look preety'是即將在五月下旬發行的專輯，但這是Branch和另一位歌手Jessica Harp以'The Wreckers'的名義合作的一張專輯。有點小不好意思，其實這已經不是新聞了，wreckers是很早就已經出現了的，而這張專輯早在去年就已經開始籌備了。
Harp和Branch是很早就認識的朋友，後來Branch簽約Maverick Records，而Harp則開始了她以Tour bus為家的生活，這幾年Harp一邊給Branch唱back up,一邊弄自己的音樂事業。'The Wreckers is a project we have wanted to do for a long time,' Branch affirms. 'It's a mix between a lot of our separate influences and inspirations.'（wreckers是我們想要做很久了的一個計劃，這是我們之間許多不同的影響和靈感的結合）。也就是說這是Branch的民謠、搖滾和Harp的鄉村風格的結合，在聽leave the pieces的時候也能很明顯地發現folk and country 的痕跡。
The Wreckers are Grammy-winning songstress Michelle Branch and friend/journeywoman Nashville singer-songwriter Jessica Harp, a team whose solid craftsmanship and soaring, airtight harmonies often lift their hook-smart contemporary country stylings above what's too often mere fizzy, pop-crossover formula. They may have entered the public consciousness via the wide exposure of 'Good Kind' on the primetime soap opera One Tree Hill, but the bracing, back-porch charms of the single 'Leave the Pieces' should find them a following well beyond that series' teen audience. The reflective title track, gritty folk charms of 'Tennessee' and giddy crowd-pleaser 'My, Oh My' are suffused with a lyrical maturity that's the perfect counterpoint to the duo's sturdy musical constructs. Solid songs all, delivered with a muscular vocal conviction that does considerably more than merely sell them.
The Wreckers are about creation, not destruction. Bringing together two young, fearless female singersongwriter-acoustic guitarists—Grammy?-winning, platinum-selling Michelle Branch and collaborator Jessica Harp—The Wreckers』 debut album, Stand Still, Look Pretty, blends Branch's pop-rock sensibility with Harp's country-folk style. Edgy yet rootsy, on Stand Still, Look Pretty, The Wreckers have a ball.
