The Red & The Black, Friday, October 12
[buy from insound]

Athens, Georgia's Casper & the Cookies has been creating a peculiar brand of power pop, tirelessly testing new waters in their songwriting and sonic pallet. Emerging from a broad range of musical influences and training, the Cookies meld their unique talents into a musical alloy that is continuously evolving.

It's a matter of science meeting the absurd with a little OCD thrown in. This is how primary songwriters Jason NeSmith and Kay Stanton work together. While not always a seamless process, the Cookies are compulsively hard workers both in the studio and on the road. It’s no wonder considering that NeSmith was once a member of fellow Athens band Of Montreal. [ casperfandango.com ]
