  • They Say...

    Harper Lee is Keris Howard from Brighter and Trembling Blue Stars and Laura Bridge from Hood playing tunes that would not sound out of place on Sarah Records circa 1989. Not too surprising considering the background of the duo. Go Back to Bed is a record that sounds as if its creators are too sad to even get out of bed in the first place: the tempos are slow as molasses, the arrangements lush and full with lots of gloomy synth strings and sadly strummed guitars, Howard's vocals are melancholy as can be, and the lyrics are about love mostly lost and general sadness. Standout songs are "Doing Nothing," which has an almost perky feel with ringing bells and a loping beat; "Only Connect," which has beautiful intertwining Felt-like guitar lines; and "Clifton Street Passage," which recalls the quiet, desperate beauty of a Field Mice ballad. Go Back to Bed is a lovely and nostalgic record that indie pop fans should seek out; listening to it is like taking a time-machine trip back to the glory days of Sarah.
