 <\/p>\n

I was going to begin this post by attempting to argue that, despite it’s name, We See Lights’ new EP Twee Love Pop<\/i> is not actually twee. Considering the songs talk about holding hands, gifting a book of poetry and loving the way the object of affection’s hair curls when it rains, there was no way I was going to win that argument. <\/p>\n

But it’s twee in a charming way.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Twee Love Pop<\/i> is so charming that my co-blogger Jennifer and I both like it. As Jennifer says, this “is one of the few times [we] agree on, well, anything, when it comes to music. Other examples: The Felice Brothers and A.A. Bondy. You are breathing rarified air, We See Lights!”<\/p>\n

It may also be because they don’t hide their Edinburgh accents, and we’re accent whores. <\/p>\n

We See Lights couch their sweet lyrics with acoustic guitar, banjo, bells, light percussion, a lot of happy bounce and, everyone’s weakness, harmony singing. Twee Love Pop<\/i> is a sunny little love note of an EP. Take a listen to (and download) the first two songs.<\/p>\n

You can take a listen to the EP, plus a couple of their earlier releases, at their Bandcamp site, and then you can download the EP from Amazon or iTunes.<\/p>\n
