Piano Pop that Rocks the Brain and the Soul
Editorial review
With Astronauts, Here Comes Everybody delivered another dose of quality indie pop out of the Great Northwest. Cut from the same keyboard power trio cloth as Ben Folds Five, Here Comes Everybody rocks less hard than Ben Folds and has even closer affinities to its Northwest neighbors Elliott Smith and Quasi. Keyboardist Michael Jarmer contributed all the lyrics and Rene Ormae-Jarmer the music for the tunes, which play as brilliant little vignettes, like pop snapshots of fleeting neurotic states of mind. Themes range from riding in a 1966 Buick, to waving at astronauts on the moon, to taking a boat ride (and not knowing how to swim), to gleaning self-help tips from cereal boxes. Michael Jarmer's close-miked double-track lead vocals are intimate and personal -- even when being whimsical, there's a soft sincerity at play. The melodies and choruses are infectious and the keyboard arrangements are filled with harmonic interest. Astronauts is in part a quest to shed the complications of modern living; the band's refreshingly simple pop is a clean way to start. ~ Jim Esch, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
WHAT THE BAND SOUNDS LIKE:
"Astronauts," the band's most recent release, provides 11 tracks of mercilessly memorable, distinctive pop. HERE COMES EVERYBODY rocks without the aid of guitars and gobs of distortion. Rene' Ormae-Jarmer writes piano pop, pure and simple, full of hook and melody. Michael Jarmer sings while simultaneously drumming. His lyrics contain actual ideas and cover a wide emotional thematic terrain.
WHAT THE PRESS HAS TO SAY:
"Here Comes Everybody is one of those bands that defies expectation and bend the reigning local music stereotype of the day."--Jam Magazine
"...a piano-sugared pop confection that's refined and sweet. With jaunty thythms and melodies that sweep and soar, 'Astronauts' should appeal to anyone who enjoys the piano-pop revivalism of Ben Folds, Scott Fisher or hell, even Quasi's happier moments."--Willamette Week
"...a small pop masterpiece...exploring mature topics with intelligence and humor...
