Brigitte Calls Me Baby
Pompadoured Chicago romantics — Roy Orbison croon over Smiths jangle, retro-pop drama sung completely straight.
Brigitte Calls Me Baby is a Chicago band fronted by singer Wes Leavins, whose wide-ranging croon is the group's most immediately recognisable feature. The music sets that voice against jangling, reverb-heavy guitar work drawn from British new wave and post-punk, producing songs that gesture at mid-century pop balladry while keeping an indie rock rhythm section underneath. The band signed to ATO Records and has toured steadily since, with a presentation — quiffs, suits, unironic romance — that matches the material rather than sending it up.
