Baby Teeth's new album, "The Simp", proves yet again that bedroom pop and huge hooks belong together. The band has been compared to a host of legendary pop eccentrics: Elvis Costello, Andy Pratt, Queen. But it's Baby Teeths' unique appropriation of classic rock icons that sets them apart from other indie-pop acts. The new albums' lavish arrangements nod to the pop of the 60s and 70s, while lyrics are direct and emotionally bare. Meticulously crafted with outside producers Blue Hawaii, a member of Bablicon, Need New Body, and Icy Demons, "The Simp" counters every big pop chorus with a left of center twist. An album of remarkable refinement, "The Simp" will only take a few spins to carry you away...or take you back, as the case may be.
It would be fitting enough to just be excited about Baby Teeth's newest Lujo release, The Simp but when the band rolls out a web-only EP full of songs that are covers of their fellow Chicago-based artists, we think it's time to flip out. We Live Here is the name of the EP and it came about as a way for the band to pay tribute to their hometown. The band covers Liz Phair, and Curtis Mayfield, they even sneak in a couple of collaborations with Bobby Conn and Kelly Hogan so that the rich history of Chicago is represented and respected.
