"Feels Weird serves as an eclectic, vivid primer on its creators' sprightly misanthropy...explicit, electrifying, and outright funny...a quintessential example of Bent Shapes' immaculate attention to wordplay." - Pitchfork

Tommy from Babydriver (solo)

Babydriver is the art pop moniker of Boston songwriters, Tommy Palmer and Chris Mara. "Warm, groovy indie rock with occasional hints of southern twang," recounts critic Anna Novikova, with a sound that "might be best described as smile-inducing," despite a sharp albeit often bleak lyrical focus on subjects like classism, sexism and homelessness. No matter the genre/s they color to mold as their own, song craft is central to the band's intentions, says Nashville-born Palmer.
 

Leave soundscaping duties to producer Patrick Wimberly (Chairlift, Das Racist, Beyoncé), who is collaborating with the group on their sophomore LP, "Let All The Sun In," bouncing from dark folk to beat-driven pop gems. Just like their records, Babydriver's live shows often include a rotating cast of their favorite collaborators, including Jeremy Mendicino (Pretty & Nice) and Ian Gustafson (Half Sour).
 

Andrew Sadoway (Bent Shapes) and Mike Tucker (P&N) round out the rhythm section that will support Palmer & Mara on their east coast tour this summer in support of the new full-length, followed by an extensive national tour this fall that will see the band visiting much of the southern and west coast regions for the first time to date.

"Sad Soldier Red, the new recording from Boston scene vet Tommy Palmer under the Babydriver name, is a playful, purposeful journey through his twangy rock dreamscape." – Performer Magazine
