Many people have said to me, "Check out The Weepies, you won't be sorry!"
Now I'm passing the message to you.
Now I'm passing the message to you.
I put off and put off listening to them, but then they were added to my ever growing list of artists I hear on Pandora, and I decided it was time.
Mellow, cheery, brilliant.
This is what came to my mind as I was listening to an album by The Weepies, called "Be My Thrill". With two singers (Deb Talan & Steve Tannen) that share the lead vocals, you won't get bored. The music is full of subtleties that make a music theory geek like me go insane with giddiness. The voices of Talan and Tannen blend so easily, that you'll start to believe it's fate that brought this pair together.
It's not only their voices that blend. The mix of instrumentation isn't too dramatic, but very mellow and emotional. A song that sticks out to me is "I Was Made for Sunshine"...if people woke up to this song everyday, I truly believe the world would be a much better place. "Not a Lullaby" and "How Do You Get High" are key tracks off the album; The former shows the songbird quality of Talan's vocals, and the latter has a kickin' bass line and a drum part that makes you want to groove out to it.
Overall, The Weepies would be an excellent addition to your record collection, one that appeals to a host of listeners.
Here's to a little rock in your life,
