California Wives – MarianneIf you’re reading this and you happen to be in the business of conflict resolution, international peacekeeping, treatise negotiating, etc.: today is your lucky day. I genuinely don’t believe it’s possible for two people to listen to California Wives together and not just start smiling and playing with each other’s hair. “Marianne” is the perfect [...]All Things Go23 May 2012

California Wives: “Marianne”The deceptive foursome California Wives (Joe O’Connor, Jayson Kramer, Dan Zima, and Graham Masell), are actually Chi town residents with plenty of 80′s blowing through their hair and mustachios. On bright sunny days, the lads like to sit on a bench, cock their heads and daydream of Lisa Frank and Fraggle Rock. “Marianne” bespeaks of the times [...]The Wounded Jukebox22 May 2012

California Wives: "Marianne"California Wive s llevan ya algunos años facturando excelentes canciones, las cuales sólo han aparecido en formato digital dado que los de Chicago, a pesar de gozar de una notable popularidad en la blogosfera, no habían firmado con ningún sello discográfico, algo que resultaba extraño dado su enorme potencial. Finalmente ha sido Vagrant quien ha apostado por ellos y quién editará su álbum de debut, del que nos adelantan esta estupenda "Marianne" Marianne by California WivesStereo Pills22 May 2012

Marianne...Blink and the good ones are taken. Been away from the computer for a couple of days, meaning that I’m a bit late posting this new track by California Wives …which I believe they are giving away to sort of celebrate that they’ve been signed to Vagrant Records . Being late or not, I just have to post it; for a number of reasons. First and foremost it simply needs to be shared, because California Wives is one of the best and most interesting new bands around (despite that horrible, horrible band name). Everything put out by the band ...stytzer21 May 2012

Nothing like releasing a single to gain attention for your new album when…wait, what’s that? You don’t have an album title or release date planned? What’s up with that, California Wives? Contrary to their name, California Wives are based out of Chicago (the talking point of practically every blogger covering this band). Their sound has a little bit of shoegaze, a little bit of indie pop, and a whole lot of potential. This is my ...indie shuffle18 May 2012

California Wives :: "Marianne"The surprise isn't how charming and singable California Wives ' music can be, it's how easy they make it all sound. Like you can three acquaintances could go down to Guitar Center, learn a few chords, pick up some equipment and then sign a deal with Vagrant Records. On "Marianne", they update their stylistic direction from inheritors to the Stills' throne to something closer to Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - and here it doesn't help that the second word of the first verse is "heartbreak" and fourth, "teenage". The big chiming synthesizers in post-chorus back the band ...32 feet per second17 May 2012

CALIFORNIA WIVES Sign with Vagrant Records; ..California Wives are pleased to announce today that they have officially joined the ever-growing Vagrant Records roster. "We were excited to sign to Vagrant because it gave us the opportunity to work with a great producer who pushed us to think outside of our tendencies as musicians. The newer instrumentation and arrangements were a result of that relationship in the studio. We are thrilled to be a part of such a terrific roster of musicians at Vagrant and we can't wait to put the new music out there," says vocalist and guitarist Jayson Kramer.Pure Grain Audio17 May 2012

Concert Reviews: California Wives, April 21s ..Chicago – You know what’s fun to think about? The Rolling Stones were once someone’s underdog. Once upon a time they were that little local band that the good concert-goers of London supported when they happened to have a free Saturday night. It’s one of my favorite things about living in a big city – [...]Panic Manual24 April 2012
