Overview
Release Date:11/13/2012;Notes:Vinyl LP pressing. 2012 release from the Indie Rock quartet. The Babies spent much of 2011 touring the US and abroad, all the while writing new material, both in their home of Brooklyn and during a two-month sojourn in Los Angeles. In February 2012, the band swapped their usual environs of Brooklyn's Rear House recording studio and spent two weeks in Los Angeles working with producer Rob Barbato (Darker My Love, the Fall, Cass McCombs). The increased time and focus allowed them to explore musical directions only hinted at on their first album. Our House on the Hill features hushed dirges, melancholic traveling odes and squealing rave-ups, all made cohesive by Morby's and Ramone's captivating songwriting and lyrical themes. Organ, piano, saxophone and even strings enhance the aural atmosphere, which finds the band finally realizing a sound that can be called their own. Simple yet thoughtful familiar yet haunting. Sweet but somber.;Track List:1. Alligator;2. Slow Walkin;3. Mess Me Around;4. Get Lost;5. Baby;6. Mean;7. On My Team;8. Moonlight Mile;9. See the Country;10. That Boy;11. Chase It to the Grave;12.
