Baffin Island

Baffin Island is a collaboration between Melanie Whittle (The Hermit Crabs), Jeremy Jensen and Jake Hite (both of The Very Most).
Named after the exact midpoint between Boise, Idaho, USA and Glasgow, Scotland, UK, Baffin Island combines the densely-layered indie pop of Boise's The Very Most with the more stripped down, thoughtful folky indie pop of Glasgow's The Hermit Crabs. The result is as sweet as you'd expect with healthy doses of Phil Spector,handclaps, delicate vocals, and lots and lots of reverb.
