here's a welcoming upbeat track, Meet Me In The City, from Brooklyn-based garage pop/rock revelers The Babies, it's from their just released self-titled album "The Babies" (2011). this is an old single dating back to 2009, but it's so damn good i wanted to share it with those who haven't had the pleasure yet!
Meet Me In The City is a rowdy, foot stomping, psychobilly, garage-pop romp, with a stripped back lo-fi 'roomy' sound, reminiscent of Beat Happening. lead singer/guitarist Kevin Morby {bassist from Woods} wastes no time, ripping right into it, his raspy voice bellowing out the lyrics with real gusto, drawing out his syllables to great effect on the choruses "Heeeeyyyy! / meet me in the citttyyyyy". Morby's gravelly cracked-notes are contrasted nicely by the warm sundazed backing harmonies from Cassie Ramone {from Vivian Girls}.
the song is filled with jangly guitar riffs et exuberant strumming, fat spacious thumping drums keeps things upbeat along with the jingling of a tambourine, there is even time for a great little twangy guitar solo, performed by Ramone, before the raucous, thumping refrain kicks back in to take us home in a drunken, hazy revelry.
Meet Me In The City is a ridiculously catchy, upbeat, rowdy song, you'll be left humming it all day long with a smile on your face!
