The Heavenly StatesLaurance Ratner

Artist: The Heavenly States
Hail From: Oakland, Calif.
Song: 'Model Son'
Album: 'Oui Camera Oui' [iTunes] [Amazon]
Sounds Like: Neutral Milk Hotel, Brendan Benson

In Their Words: "We used to do a song we called 'Pink Freud' that was this sort of funky weird dance number. We couldn't come up with lyrics worthy of the title 'Pink Freud' so I would sing bits from 'Kiss Me Deadly' by Lita Ford. Don't ask me why I thought that was appropriate. We loved our song though so we kept performing it until finally [instrumentalist/singer/lyricist] Gen [Gagon] slapped on lyrics for another song she was working on and it worked. The emperor was dressed. Once we had the lyrics, the idea grew and we started to have some fun with it, added a middle eight, wrote a cool breakdown, etc." -- Vocals/guitarist Ted Nesseth
