Looks like husband-and-wife musical pairings are the new brother-and-sister (perhaps the same thing in some states, but let’s not go there) - The Arcade Fire, The Rosebuds, The White Stripes, and now Viva Voce have all shown us that separating your personal work lives are not necessary to maintain a healthy relationship. This is bedroom pop at its finest – and I don’t just mean stylistically, the pair actually recorded the album in their bedroom on a four-track. Their music is a spacy, psychedelic rock sound with the occasional dancy beat – fans of most Elephant6 groups, Beck, Papas Fritas, and shit, maybe even Air or Stereolab fans might take a shine to it. Pop bands are a dime a dozen, but it’s only a small handful that are worth paying attention to. This is one of them.
