Snappy Little Numbers (2020)
Here we go again, Snappy Little Numbers picking up a band I never heard of before, putting out a record by them and dropping it in my lap to great fanfare. Their track record includes way more hits than misses and you can absolutely chalk up Jiffy Marx in the 'hit' category.
The A side is "She's My Witch" and man of man, it sounds like it could have been an outtake from the Love As Laughter album Laughter's Fifth. Specifically it reminds me a lot of the song "Dirty Lives" with its laid back, breezy indie rock sound. There's a loose feel to the instrumentation and the vocals that gives it a quality of the sort of thing you'd hear hanging out with the friends that you've known your entire life.
On the B side we have "Warning Sign." This one doesn't sound as much like Love as Laughter as the other, but it's still a strong song and is actually the poppier of the two. I'm not sure if anyone reading this remembers those Space Wolves tapes I got a few years back, but this song makes me think about them quite a bit. Both good songs, definitely worth giving a listen to.
