Биография

Eric Emm and Jesse Cohen have been making escapist, joyful-sounding songs about sad, insular moments and melancholy songs about catharsis and joy since 2008. I will now briefly chart how their creative partnership has evolved over time, by very briefly describing each of their releases: Their debut EP Settings veered experimental electronic. Their first LP, 2012's Mixed Emotions, pushed their sounds towards what they called "existential pop." 2015's follow-up Highlights brought in more indie rock influences. In 2018, they bestowed a gift on parents-of-young children with their mellow synth-driven interpretations of children's classics on Presents. In 2023, they'll be returning with a third album, The Big Mess, which is their debut album for Merge Records. For now you'll have to use your imagination to project what you think it will sound like. Stay tuned.
