04.18.08 T. COLE RACHEL'S RECORD OF THE WEEK
The Little Ones' Terry Tales & Fallen Gates EP makes you want live out loud

I’ve been following the Little Ones for a couple of years now. I first saw them back in 2006 (I think) and I was so enamored that I bought a copy of their Sing-Song EP and lingered around their merch table to try and chat them up. I was stoked to hear that they had eventually signed to a major label and were slated to unleash their debut LP sometime this year. Unfortunately, like so many great bands, the Little Ones were dropped from their label just as their full-length was about to be released. Rather than go home and cry, the crafty L.A. band opted instead to release the album (called Morning Tides) themselves and will do so a little later this year on their own Branches Recording Collective. In the meantime, the Little Ones deliver this 6-song EP to tide the world over. I’m a sucker for any band who can write big, shimmery, buoyant pop songs that make you want to run around in the sun and do happy things like blow bubbles or chase rainbows or kiss unicorns. These songs actually make me want to do those things, which is no small feat considering that I generally dislike sunshine and prefer to be indoors. Here’s to the little guy sticking it to the man!
