NEWS: The Moonbabies

I'm a worrier.
This little quirk isn't always fun, but what makes this condition more severe is that even when I have nothing to worry about, I end up worrying for other people.
That brings me to you all, the readers.

I'm worried that, unless you've delved into the very earliest posts of our little blog, you may have missed some truly outstanding artists.
Well over a year ago, when WIAC was still in its infancy, Chris posted about the oh so very talented Moonbabies.
Their 2007 release At the Ballroom was a favorite that year here at WIAC and, having just listened to it, still as fantastic in 2009 as it was in 2007.

And I'm pleased to see that the poppy little Swedish duo are busy at work putting together their forth-coming album. (no release date as of yet) But they've given us a sneak peak into what to expect. (For instance: "a semi-instrumental western inspired theme song." Ya, I can't wait.)

ARTIST: LUNAR INFANTS MAKE GREAT MUSIC

So we're kinda sad that we started this little blog thing a bit too late to post a list of our favorite albums of 2007- 'cuz we both felt like we had a great year where music is concerned. So to make up for that, here's a track from an album that would have been right at the top of my list. It's called At the Ballroom, and it's the third full-length from Sweden's indie-pop duo The Moonbabies. Why do I like it so much? Maybe I'm a sucker for the girl/guy vocal dynamic that's so hot right now, or maybe it's the straight-up sonic pop bliss they cram into every song, or maybe I just really like the idea of lunar infants making music among us. There's really no way of telling. But of one thing we can be sure: this is great music.

And of this we can also be sure: that this is one strange music video. It's for the song Take Me to the Ballroom, also from said fantastic album. Enjoy.
