He Is We

I’m usually not a fan of all that sappy, happy, feel-good, “let’s go run in the forest with the deer!” kind of pop music. And by usually, I mean I never like it. I’ve had just about enough of all that Cristofer Drew underage-hippie business. I’m sick of it. But … He is We managed to charm me a little bit. Maybe because they remind me of the first time I heard Eisley when I was a college freshman many (many) years ago and was not so secretly charmed by them. It’s definitely on the sunshine and rainbows end of the singer-songwriter pop spectrum, but there’s something inexplicably infectious about the Tacoma duo. - Brien Overly
