The Brooklyn garage/punk outfits, The Babies and Swearin', will be playing at Fishtown's Kung Fu Necktie tomorrow. The Babies, the side project of Vivian Girls and Woods, have been steadily gaining popularity since their 2011 self-titled album. The band also recently released their second album Our House on the Hill in mid-November. That album can ... Continue reading
Our very earliest associates and supporters may remember that the origins of The Cargo Culte lay in a collection of mixes that BaddBob and I began sharing in the late fall and winter of 2008. A few scant months after the banking meltdown I found myself back in Los Angeles after eight years of wandering, [...]

I know it's the Christmas season, but Charli XCX's synth-pop ballad "Valentine" was one of my favorites this year. So in keeping with a Valentines theme for today, it's only right that I highlight The Temper Trap's "Need Your Love", along with tracks from the UK's Citizens!, Brooklyn's HAERTS (can't wait to hear more from this duo, probably my most anticipated of 2013), and LA's Kisses. And for my anti-Valentine's Day readers, Deerhoof's "Breakup Songs" and La Sera's "Break My Heart". [...]
During her final tour for her latest album, Interstellar , Frankie and her band performed an excellent set for us in the District. This would be one of her last performances for a while before heading back home for an extended period. Interstellar' s big, synth-pop sound, presented a distinct evolution from her debut album, Frankie Rose & the Outs , and from some of the other projects she's been involved in, like Dum Dums , Vivians, or Crystal Stilts. But as for what's next, that is still up in the air. [...]
The Babies es un proyecto musical donde colaboran Cassie Ramone de las Vivian Girls y el músico Kevin Morby , miembro del proyecto musical Woods . Hace poco tiempo decidieron lanzar un pequeño LP titulado House on the Hill . La semana pasada The Babies estrenaron un video grabado en VHS con aura karaoke naïve titulado "Baby" , su primer single. La atmósfera nos hace recordar un poco a una debutante Scarlett Johansson en Perdidos en Tokio [...]
Cassie Ramone takes to the stage in the new video for The Babies' "Baby" from this year's Our House on the Hill. Brooklyn-based singer Ramone from Vivian Girls and bassist Kevin Morby of Woods combined their talent in 2009 with the creation of The Babies. The band's lo-fi surfpop sound lends itself to Ramone's dreamy ... Continue reading

By Kati HengThe Babies With Nice Purse and Crimes 7th Street Entry, Minneapolis Tuesday, November 20, 2012 The Babies (read with a tiny heart over the "i" for full effect) are not new to the stage. S
Back in 2010, the Austin based duo Yellow Fever released their self-titled debut, a collection of shambling pop tunes culled over the years from singles & EPs. Then after a relative silence for a time the band re-emerged this year with a follow up and a name change. The two linked up with Hardly Art to release a new full length as the newly dubbed Deep Time . This summer they took the show on the road to support said album and their tour brought them to one of our favorite venues, Comet [...]

Texto: @rulobn Es en este segundo disco de The Babies que la mezcla de estilos e influencias entre Cassie Ramone de Vivian Girls y Kevin Morby de Woods realmente funcionan a la perfección, pues aunque el primer disco de la banda de Brooklyn tuvo un sonido que le gustó a muchos (sobre todo a los fans de Vivian Girls ), ahora con Our House on the Hill se nota la convivencia entre el folk y el garage de forma [...]
This week's a pretty light one for releases, but we've still got some good ones for you. Sweden-based solo act El Perro Del Mar covers some dancing territory, while Brooklyn's own The Babies kick it with some awesome new garage rock (they're celebrating with a show tonight at The Knitting Factory!). The hands-down highlight release of the week, however, is Sufjan Stevens' Christmas album, Silver & Gold . If possible, he's gone more all-out this time than ever before. [...]
With Our House On the Hill, Brooklyn's side-project-no-more, The Babies, simultaneously sprouts wings and struggles to find their footing.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars The project between Woods ' Kevin Morby and Vivian Girls ' Cassie Ramone isn't exactly a new project, but their newest effort for Woodsist seems like the side-project finally got some much deserved focus from the two core songwriters. Our House On The Hill is the perfect execution of sunny pop with a ramshackle approach, giving listeners exactly what we've been looking for since we first got wind of the band. "Alligator" takes [...]
Next week, the Babies, the side project led by Vivian Girls' Cassie Ramone and Woods' Kevin Morby, will release their sophomore album Our House On The Hill - and now that they're two albums deep, we might have to stop referring to them as a side project. We've already posted the album tracks " Moonlight Mile " and " Get Lost ," and now the whole album is streaming at Spin . Our House On The Hill is out 11/13 on Woodsist .
