PEP’s My Baby and Me EP was recently released a few days before Valentine’s Day, and the timing couldn’t have been better. Karys Rhea (who also drums for Brooklyn band Starlight Girls) began recoring the EP in early 2012 while she was on a three-month tour of the heartland with her other project. When she returned to the east coast, she switched her focus to PEP, which has settled into a tight knit act that includes Morgan Lynch and Ilana Webber on backing vocals and percussion, Eric Jackowitz on drums, Teddy Williams on bass, and David Origlieri on guitar. In a live setting, the six piece set up truly breathes a vintage wind into PEP’s unique brand of indie doo-wop. The EP features Emil Hewitt (Emil & Friends) on bass and was mixed by Jake Aron (Jamie Lidell, Grizzly Bear, Chairlift, Yeasayer). Today PEP’s technicolor, hyper-stylized video for “I Met a Boy” premiered with BlackBook
