A variety of sounds and moods from this duo. Yes, that is a winky emoticon in the album title.

Bad Bad Hats :: Walkman
A strong, sometimes raspy female voice in front of a very clever power indie band can be the equivalent of beige wallpaper after all these years, but this outfit rises above that with a generous dose of unique hooks and singalong rhymes.
Ratboys :: Happy Birthday, Ratboy
Revisiting songs from their debut 2011 EP and various favorites from a ten-year career, this sunny folk-pop ensemble is buoyed by brightly colored harmony balloons dangling deathly sharp unexpected hooks. Listen with care and often.
Margaret Glaspy :: Devotion
Glaspy’s voice is a broad crooked smile, unique in its shape and well-suited for this particular set of laconic jangle.
Palehound :: Black Friday
Nice indie guitar sounds, with whispery vocals and a meandering melodic spirit.
