For their first full national tour, Obi Best will hit the road with front woman Alex Lilly‘s fellow bandmates The Bird and The Bee, for whom she sings backup, on the west coast before launching their own national tour.
The band’s forthcoming debut full-length Capades is set for a February 24th release on Social Science Recordings, though it’s been available digitally for quite some time. The album is a collection of whimsical and eclectic indie pop songs with electronic flourishes.
Watch the slightly disjointed, space age adventure that is “It’s Because Of People Like You”:
