My My My is the new sound in indie-pop music, but don’t take our word for it:
“My My My has drawn comparisons to the much-loved New Pornographers - high, but certainly deserved, praise.” -Chicago Sun-Times
“"Little Cat" is a fully-realized, confident record that plays like the work of a band with not only strong musical talent and intelligence, but also a sense of humor - something all too rare in indie music today.” -The Examiner
“My My My’s acumen for upbeat song craft cannot be disputed.” -Daily Herald
“Ultimately, [lead singer Russell] Baylin is one of the strongest unsigned singer/songwriters that I have heard in quite sometime, and “Little Cat Plays the Alpha Rave” is an album worth checking out.” -Gaper’s Block
“My My My’s repertoire is a collection of feel-good pop songs, with charming vocal interplay between singers Russell Baylin and Sarah Snow. The five-piece band has strength in numbers – its primary strength being the singers’ prominent vocal exchange, their bouncy harmonies providing the bulk of the band’s onstage aura.” – CheekyChicago.com
