KEXP 90.3 FM - where the music matters

The husband and wife duo of Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel, known to most as Mates of State, stops by KEXP for a live set of songs from “Re-Arrange Us.” They’ve pushed their giant organ aside for more piano and other synth sounds, plus they’ve added two new members on violin and cello. (I’d swear the strings are playing Pachelbel's “Canon” during “You Are Free.”) Their catchy, multilayered pop is still as strong as ever - W. Myers
