Congratulations – Juice and Syrup
One of my friends recently introduced me to the Portland band, Congratulations. If you like Boy Least Likely To than you should check them out. They incorporate everything in their music that I dream to incorporate in my imaginary band one day: horns, xylophone, hamornies, hand claps… it doesn’t get much better than that.
Congratulations is made up of members from the former band, Eskimo and Sons. I’m still a little hazy on the details, but it sounds like the band decided to refocus their music and, therefore, changed band names. They were starting to attract a pretty loyal fan base as Eskimo and Sons, so it’s cool that they stayed true to their music and went with their hearts. Congratulations doesn’t have much music to their name yet, but their song “Juice and Syrup” and work in Eskimo and Sons has definitely made me excited for their debut. I’ll keep you posted.
Thanks to Hallie for the rec. You should buy one of her hats on Etsy, they are awesome!

love it. thanks.
can’t find anything else by them. any help?
I don’t think they have too much else out right now. I would keep up with them on their above Myspace and Brave Records link. And I’ll definitely write about a debut album on the site.
great find, really incredible stuff, will be surprised if they don’t explode someday 🙂
