Amazing Baby: Pump Yr Brakes (MP3)

1:59 p.m. · June 18, 2008 · by Andrew Winistorfer

Amazing Baby are the latest band to start hitting the hype machine thanks to name drops on RCRDLBL, like Abe Vigoda, Apes and Androids, and Cold War Kids (to name a few) before them. The band has also been big-upped by uber-hot producer Mark Ronson, and they have the right zip code to be the next big blog band (they’re from Brooklyn).

The band’s MySpace demos form a set that sounds like MGMT if those guys were high on LSD playing Black Mountain covers. “Pump Yr Brakes” is the band’s best track (so far); the sauntering guitar and percussion are augmented by what sounds like a spaceship making a descent into the desert.

That MGMT reference is pertinent, actually, because Amazing Baby are supporting that band for a few dates on the east coast in July.
