Mates of State is an indie, feel good, subtle pop duo composed of two vocalists that play drums and an organ. Yep that's it. The duo is also married, has one little girl and lives in Magnolia, but you wouldn't know it from their music. Their lyrics have ranged from cheerful to dark and deceptive. The vocals lift the music and the minimal instruments don't leave listeners wanting. Above all the music has a light indie feel that is fun and substantial.
Mates of State will be playing at Seattle Uinversity's Quadstock on May 19.
My favorite track is "Fraud in the 80's," but check out more of their music at their myspace page and web site!
