Team boo
polyvinyl
They're so cute. Organ-and-drum mates Kori and Jason pick up the tempo from Our Constant Concern, with trumpets, violas, claps and more group singing! It was produced by Spoon's Jim Eno and makes me want to dance with fluffy teddy bears. "Parachutes" and "The Kissaway" are a tad sluggish like that lagging second album, but the remaining songs recall the more euphoric, with declarative arpeggios and melodic drumming. "This couldn't be more ghetto" can be heard on track 11…"you have long flowers in your hair". Usually when I say husband-and-wife organ-and-drums combo, most people say 'Quasi', but Coomes and Weiss couldn't cuddle like Team Boo. Grab a teddy.
