MATES OF STATE - ALL DAY EP

Parallelographically Fit
by R.C. Kola

 

The indie rock couple Mates of State, Kori and Jason is on to their lovely chemistry with this wonderful 2004 EP.  The EP is classic Mates of State. Four tracks that'll leave a smile on your face. Sensible and understandable lyrics, that's what makes Mates of State the duo to follow. Their version of David Bowie's "Starman" sounds entirely like their own. Keys and drums just sound so fit and parallelographically good. Eerily decent and neat, indie-pop royalty.
