Be Cool is the first tape from Portland trio Cry Babe, who include one member of the North Carolina group Daddy Issues (not the Nashville band, that is). I particularly love the third out of four tracks, called “Soft Honk”. How could you not, with lines as great as “you’re not my friend, you’re just some creepy guy”? This is a great example of a lo-fi release that manages to outshine its recording qualities.
