That's Amazing Baby!


Amazing Baby are another Brookyln band hopping on the psychedelic-rock-pop MGMT train, and they are riding it large. The band, formed by Simon O’Connor and Will Roan in late 2007, have been touring all this year, playing songs from their Invisible Fucking Cross EP, which is available for free on their website. The four tracks: "Pump Your Brakes", "The Narwhal", "Supreme Being", and "Head Dress" all share a similar liquid vibe and sense of scale, with guitar riffs overlaying reverb-drenched backing vocals and spacey melodies.


Despite being around for a ridiculously short amount of time they have already supported the likes of Bloc Party, and this November are journeying over to the UK to play with MGMT. After touring and supporting, they plan to record an album with Claudius Mittendorfer, who has worked with Muse and Interpol.

Here is a video of them playing in a small dark place:
