Thee Yankee Dollar

Thee Yankee Dollar play some solid twee with less whine and repetition than other synth duos. Shana Lehar lives in New York and Mike Munywoki in Texas, so it seems there’s little hope of catching these pals live. The tracks on their EP are all pleasant, but I’m most impressed with the unabashed pomp and clever lyrics of “Old Penny’s Dead,” so feast on this while you watch the Patriots eat the Chargers for lunch.
