The Nextdoor Neighboors

Add Date: March 17

Artist: The Nextdoor Neighbors

Album: Magic Vs the Machine

Label: Bicycle

Genre: Bedroom pop

Comments: Cute bedroom pop with a electro-folk-hop feel from real-life nextdoor neighbors Jessie Hill and Kathy Cote. The two ladies met in Olympia, Washington when they were going to college. Their basic musical equation is Jessie talk-singing over the funny indie-sounding keyboard bloops and blips that Kathy provides. While they might not really have enough to make the whole album work together, little gems like "Town Full of Manequins" make Magic Vs the Machine worth a listen. *Plus cool animal-skeleton album art inside!
