Muffled Twee: Old Lacy Bed’s “Little Girl”
This one isn’t new per se…it came out on a Dead Funny Records compilation back in January…but now it comes with a new, glasses-stomping-good video that allows us to give it props all over again. Old Lacy Bed are one of the many bands in today’s crowded twee scene who are more concerned with properly honoring the past than pushing forward, trying to capture a specific sound (here, 90’s semi-fuzzy take on indie-pop). It’s simple but effective, Old Lacy Bed turning a simple repeated chorus of “ah ah ah” into a very catchy hook. If you’ll allow me to throw shade for a second…I wish bands like Old Lacy Bed could get more attention rather than the boring as hell (and dude filled) indie bands that somehow get the call up here. Watch above.
