Siren Says: This button-cute husband and wife duo exude bittersweet joy and maximum energy with just a vintage organ and a set of drums. Lovely and in love, Kori and Jason's bubbly pocket symphonies bring instant smiles to even the grumpiest indie elitists with bouncy vocal interplay and a refreshing humbleness that reveals their Midwestern background.

Mates of State Say: "The arms are crossed and the stills must all come down. It's time to separate the people from the men who disregard them." ("Separate the People")
