A fellow writer of the blog turned me on the Brookyln's Earthy Babes later last year after the duo released a great EP of surf pop infused garage, titled Still Earthy, back in October. After eagerly awaiting some new tunes from the group, I was excited to hear they are now prepping the release of three singles this month. The first, "Mating," just went live on their bandcamp page this morning. A noticeably darker, spooky riff guides the song, reminding me just a little of Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand," until the bouncy, head bobbing chorus kicks in. The single has Earthy Babes back on my radar as a band to watch this year so keep an eye out later this month for the next couple singles and in the mean time, listen to "Mating" below.

I have to give some credit to fellow blogger and WBNY Local Show host Michael Moretti for turning me on to some great bands over the last few weeks. My favorite act of the bunch has to be Brooklyn's Earthy Babes, a surf pop meets garage two piece currently building some steam in the city. Yesterday on IFC's website, the music video to their song "Old Machine" debuted. The tune, whose opening keys reminded me of the Replacements "Can't Hardly Wait" until singer Tyler Jack Anderson's Elvis Costello like vocals kick in, is paired with a simple and clever video. The Earthy Babes guys star in a karaoke video for the song, while a group of girls seem to be enjoying themselves, singing along, until whatever they had for lunch rears its ugly head. I don't know what those girls are eating, but I will most likely pass.
Like what you hear? Well then check out the Earthy Babes full EP, which was just released last month, currently streaming and available for sale on their bandcamp page for $5.
