Expensive Music Band Sing About Cool Aunty
Expensive Music Band was not quite on my radar until this year, but now I can’t help but to just turn on a single when it comes our way, like this latest single, “Cool Aunty.” This go round we find the band in slow-burning fashion, regaling us with an homage to all the strong bad-ass women that influence us, and our children. I love how the band seems to employ an almost surf meets garage vibe, though they’re elevating it beyond even what I expect. There’s lush arrangements throughout the tune, leading the listener through a sort of ceremonious version of rock n’ roll; you’ll also find some syllable playfulness from Troon Lienad that’s absolutely marvelous. Pencil in Things to Say at a Barbecue for your listening pleasure; it drops on June 16th via Exclusive Culture/Permanent Slump.
