Cry Babies
[ Vinyl / 12" Album ]

Cry Babies - Cry Babies Rating: 7.5/10 Ah, the sound of tears and melodic whimpers, perfectly captured in Cry Babies' self-titled debut album. Like a musical version of a therapy session, this record takes us on an emotional rollercoaster from heartbreak to healing, all while wrapped in a blanket of quirky, indie-pop goodness. Lead singer Sally Sadface's vocals are as raw and vulnerable as a freshly peeled onion, bringing a sense of authenticity to each track. From the angsty anthem "Tissues for Your Issues" to the bittersweet ballad "Emotional Rollercoaster," Cry Babies manage to strike a perfect balance between cathartic release and toe-tapping tunes. The instrumentation on this album is nothing short of delightful, with playful synths and jangly guitars creating a whimsical musical landscape that feels like running through a field of sunflowers in the rain. Each song is a carefully crafted blend of pop sensibility and emotional depth, providing the listener with a lush sonic experience that leaves you feeling simultaneously uplifted and introspective. While Cry Babies may not reinvent the wheel with their debut album, they certainly know how to tug at the heartstrings and make you want to dance at the same time. So grab a box of tissues, put on your dancing shoes, and let Cry Babies take you on a journey through the highs and lows of the human experience. It's worth the emotional ride.
