The new Mates of State album Re-Arrange Us is set for release on May 20th on Barsuk Records, and I’m counting the days! The album art is a bit creepy, but the inside is what matters, right? They just released the first taster in the form of a video for “Get Better”. It’s absolutely adorable, because who can resist cute forest animals, even if explosives are involved? Simple sounds layer to create a something much more complex with each vocal or instrument straining to be recognized.  The earnest build-up of emotion/tension is a Mates of State signature and it portrays itself well in the video. “Get Better” ends with soothing strings and a craving to play it one more time.
