There’s nothing more annoying than a latecomer to the party. They show up at half two, twisted, and drink all your Lidl wine, eat all your non-perishables, make the jokes that were made two hours before they came, and gatecrash your Rock Band session just as soon as you’d all nailed Bon Jovi. Amazing Baby are such plonkers when it comes to New York’s psych-pop diaspora. Last year was the year of MGMT, and Yeasayer got more than a beat of their tabla in to the ears of music fans. Amazing Baby try to hit on the same acid trip as their predecessors, but come across as not just fakers, but copyists. Like Devendra Banhart in a business suit, or MGMT with even less ideas, the only thing amazing about this baby is the haircut.
