East of Eden presents: Depression, Baby + Joey Maxwell + Fletcher Gull

5 Piece from North London, Depression, Baby tie their love of throwback pop with 00's guitar music. "An initial sense that they might be trying a bit too hard to be cool gives way to a general feeling that they’re bloody good and that they’ve got fabulous tunes. It’s swathed in the past with bits of rock ‘n’ roll, doo wop and country coming to the fore. But, there are also cinematic sweeps and velvet flourishes that give this a decadence not unlike Father John Misty or The Last Shadow Puppets. They’ve got a fine vocalist, an interesting turn of phrase lyrically and a neat way of harmonising. It’s a travesty that more haven’t listened. Give it time and their listens will surely rocket." – Sonicbreakfast
