The Weepies

This duo plays off of each other in the simplest way, creating music that is both sparse, yet uplifting -- which is actually a difficult task to pull off, as most sparsely arranged pieces of music tend to be on the depressing side. However, the Weepies offer up languid, folk-pop gems of hope and longing that charm listeners with couplets such as, "Everything that I said I'd do, like make the world brand new, take the time for you. I just got lost and slept right through."
