band names like Partybaby are totally fine, somehow. Right? In any event, it’s a bit of a red herring: this California ensemble are far more complex and nuanced than their moniker might suggest, serving up an intoxicating blend of frazzled punk, lo-fi-that-magically-morphs-into-hi-fi, and impossibly infectious melodic refrains. It’s, put most simply, really exciting new pop music.
