The (k)Now


the babies: "meet me in the city"


The Babies is a band made up of Cassie from Vivian Girls and Kevin from the Woods.  "Meet Me in the City" is exactly what that combination of the two musicians would sound like: Kevin's vocals complimented by Cassie's, while staying afloat a garage rock rhythm.  Upbeat, clunky, always with forward motion, "Meet Me in the City" is playful but introspective.  It almost feels carefree about taking life seriously.  I guess that's what happens when you realize life's absolutes.  When you're "too young to think like [you] do" or you just "feel shitty,"  "keep trying, keep trying" and "meet me in the city."



washed out: "belong"



"Belong" is an aquatic 80's melody that shows off Ernest Green aka Washed Out's vocal allure.  It likens to a watered down (in a good way) "Electric Feel."  The vocals then strays from the party-vibe inspired by "Electric Feel" and ventures into more reflective territory.  "Belong" is from Green's High Times Cassette on Columbia, South Carolina's Mirror Universe.
