There is a startling amount of great stuff happening on the Oakland based Dandy Boy Records at the moment, and this wonderful new tune from Smile Too Much might just be my pick of the bunch.
You Can’t Help Me is the lead track from the Oakland bands upcoming self titled EP, and it’s a hazy, melodic delight. Melancholic guitars fuzz in and around the dual vocals of Maggie Aytac and Louis Bilman, combining to create the happiest kind of summer sadness.
Evoking the halcyon days of early nineties indie when it felt as if the right chord change could alter the trajectory of your life, it can’t be easy making it sound this easy. That unique Bay Area spirit is fully intact, and soul seeps from their every heavy hearted note. It’s all but impossible to resist Smile Too Much’s restless charm when it hurts this good.
