Just discovered this group thanks (again) to NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series. There’s a lot to like about And The Kids—their songs are thoughtful, joyful, and a little bit sad all at once. Each song sort of evolves, dynamically and texturally, and although the music is simple, they do a nice keeping the listener hooked in through catchy melodies, vocal harmonies, extra percussion (i.e. glockenspiel), and of course, attitude. Two of the members have been playing together since they were in seventh grade and I think that experience and bond shows through in the music—really looking forward to digging in to their music more.
