The Babies, formerly brushed off as the throwaway hobby of Kevin Morby (Woods) and Cassie Ramone (Vivian Girls), has graduated from side project to a band in its own right. Exhibit A? Their second album, Our House On The Hill. After their self-titled first LP, the Brooklyn-based band dropped a demos EP along with some singles. But now the indie rockers team up with Woodsist Records and Producer Rob Barbato for what Woodsist describes as a collection of “hushed dirges, melancholic traveling odes and squealing rave-ups” with Morby and Cassie as the sweet, kickass icing on the metaphorical cake. Their first single from the LP, “Moonlight Mile,” shows off the results of that studio time with a clean, energetic garage rock sound. The band spent two weeks holed up in a Los Angeles recording studio with an organ, saxophone, piano and some strings in what has hopefully resulted in a sophomore album that’ll take the cake (metaphorically, of course). You can check out Our House On The Hill on November 13.
