The Besties – Prison Song
It’s been a little while since we had any twee pop again, so today is the turn of The Besties, a band I have loved for a couple of years now but have never had the chance to write about properly. Coming from New York (what is it about the northeast and twee?), I always thought that the band was a three-piece, although the photographic evidence above appears to disagree.
The Besties describe themselves as “60s girl groups dry humping 90s pop punk”, which is something I think we can all agree that more bands should aspire to. They certainly pull it off too, the sweet female harmonies mixing perfectly with the often shambolic musical sound that supports it. Their last album, Singer, was full of pop gems, from Prison Song to Sweden Song to Pirate Song to Zombie Song. I think they really like the word ’song’.
The Besties’ new album, Home Free, will be released on November 11.
