DaveCromwell Writes: The Babies Interview – Catchy Lyrical Melodic Rock
picture by ancient history – creative commons
“With their follow up album “Our House On The Hill” now out on Woodsist Records, Brooklyn’s The Babies exhibit the cohesiveness of a fully realized band.
Lead track “Alligator” finds Kevin Morby presenting his vocals in that conversational style first made popular years ago by Chuck Berry (think “Memphis” or “No Particular Place To Go”). The opposite of flowery (or obscure) poetry, the words come at you exactly the way people talk to each other. “There’s no plans – watcha doin’ later? Take my hand – alligator.” And “I like your hair – how do you do it?” Ultimately the frustration is revealed when it’s stated “It’s no fair that you’re taken. It’s unfair, that you’re spoken for.”
“Slow Walking” is classic boy/girl duet with lots of tongue-in-cheek “whoah oh wah” background vocals. What initially seems like an “I don’t love you anymore” song twists and morphs along with way, with Cassie saying later on that “I’m not leaving like I said I would.”
“Get Lost” churns along a buoyant four chord progression with that now instantly recognizable Cassie guitar lead sound. These instrumental notes played are melodic to the point of being lyrical – that is, as if they are another set of lyrics.”
