Oh man, I love The Ballet with all my heart — so I was beyond excited for the release of their fifth album last month. Already I can say with 99% certainty that this is going to be my favourite record this year. 💜😭🔥 Have a listen below.
Recently I did a deep dive, and discovered this: before forming The Ballet, Greg and Craig (plus their fellow grad student Emily) were in a band called The Mean Corner. They released one EP in 2004 called I Learned It By Watching You. This is my favourite track, "Who Is Sean Cody?"
Cascading synths; strummed Spanish guitar; boy-girl duetting; witty and heartfelt lyrics: what a perfect pop gem. 🥰💛 If anyone would like me to upload the rest of this excellent EP to YouTube, please just leave a comment below and I shall do it!
(P.S. Sean Cody is the name of a gay porn studio, in case you were wondering. 😏)
