The Babies were born out of a friendship between Cassie Ramone of the Vivian Girls and Kevin Morby of Woods. With the addition of Ramone's former bandmate in Bossy, Justin Sullivan, on drums, the trio began writing songs in earnest that met somewhere between the sugary fuzz of the Vivian Girls and the ramshackle indie rock of Woods. After bassist Nathanael Stark joined the band, the quartet began playing shows in the summer of 2010. Recording when they could find a chance, the Babies released singles for Wild World and Make a Mess before releasing their self-titled debut album for Shrimper in 2011. Our House on the Hill followed in 2012. ~ Tim Sendra
