“Anne Marie” (Live at Cameo Gallery 10.08.09) - We Are Country Mice
Recorded by Matt R. for Standing Room
It’s impossible to get a decent photo at this venue sans flash.
We Are Country Mice may be based in Brooklyn, but they wear their Midwestern roots on their sleeves. Ear Farm describes We Are Country Mice as Motel Motel meets Suckers and, after seeing the band play a set at Cameo Gallery last week, we can see where that comparison comes from. A first listen to WACM would classify the band as alt-country, but it’s their experimental edge that makes them a rising band to watch. Delightfully catchy melodies tinged with artful noise, including some from a megaphone, make WACM a listen that I can’t seem to get out of my head. We’ve posted “Anne Marie” above, and be sure to go over to Standing Room for more from We Are Country Mice’s set at Cameo Gallery. Definitely check out a WACM show if you’re in need of some unpretentious fun. Just don’t blame us if find yourself humming some of their songs as you wander around town.
