The music of Brigitte Calls Me Baby is equal parts elegant time warp and up-close exploration of our modern-day neuroses. The Chicago-based five-piece emerged in early 2023 and soon scored a breakout hit with "Impressively Average" – a sublimely shimmering anthem that shot to the Top 10 at Triple A radio, setting the band on a swift rise that's recently included embarking on a headline tour with sold-out dates across the country. Now, with their debut LP The Future Is Our Way Out, Brigitte Calls Me Baby share a body of work that ingeniously spans genres and eras, merging the lavish romanticism of mid-century pop with the frenetic energy and spiky intensity of early-millennium indie-rock. Centered on Leavins' hypnotically crooning vocal work, the result is a rare convergence of sophistication and style and unabashed sincerity.
At SKORTS(Opens in a new window)’s first show, an amp exploded. Call it a freak accident or a catalyzing prophecy—either way, from that moment was born a band that refused to arrive quietly. With their debut, Incompletement, the group is packaging that power to deliver the album fans have been anticipating since the band first took NYC stages by storm.
Incompletement is pure passion pressed into permanence: polished, stadium-ready rock with a DIY edge, recorded live across three Brooklyn practice spaces with friend and producer Teddy O’Mara. The album is more than just a collection of the greatest hits fans have loved live; it also includes two never-before-performed songs that showcase a more tender side of the band.
SKORTS is a product of creative chemistry and sweet serendipity. The foundation was laid when lead singer and guitarist Alli Walls made what she calls her “big romantic gesture to music” and moved from Denver to New York City in 2021. Upon arrival, she hit it off with Char Smith (lead guitar) at a local guitar shop, and the duo began recording demos. After Smith connected with Emma Welch outside a bar, the band officially found its bassist.
