Sounds Like: "Oddball-pop songs about vampire girls, with dead-pan lyrics from a David Lynch script. They re fronted by poster-boy Ben Pearson and have a penchant for Raymond Chandler and film noir. Mad, sexy, elitist, erratic" (NME)
_____________________________
"Them wondrous Amazing Babies are somewhere between Nick Cave, Pavement, and then some. Great tunes, quality lyrics. Tall tales of the enchanting and surreal. A clockwork drummer, two weaving guitars delving and descending through minor chord mayhem" (Rob Nichols, EVENING GAZETTE)
_____________________________

"Darlington’s thoroughly enlightening Them Amazing Babies' latest EP is their best and most comprehensive piece of work to date. ‘Crazy in the Head’ reeks of single potential. There's much more to these Babies than meets the eye. The vocals often veer off inexplicably from the tune and allow the two detached musical strings to untwine in whichever way they feel fit until finally intertwining once more for a thoroughly intense climax" (Sandman)

Type of Label: None
