Comment:

If you've ever seen a Mates of States show, you know the deal: keyboardist Kori Gardner and drummer Jason Hammel are the kind of couple that projects nothing but pure joy onstage, as they plow through picture perfect tunes and gaze at each other with wide, love-struck eyes. Don't worry, though — you won't be choking on cheesiness while witnessing our ultimate Mates of State playlist. The group's chemistry — a seamless exchange of inescapable vocal hooks and ingenious melodies — is exactly what's made them stand out for nearly a decade. That goes for their deceptively simple early days — [i]Team Boo[/i] is caffeinated indie pop at its very best — as well as the expansive arrangements of their 2008 album, [i]Re-Arrange Us[/i], from the multi-tracked harmonies and woozy synths of "Now" to the skittering beats and shimmering keys of "You Are Free."
