MOONLIGHT MILE by The Babies

Brooklyn's The Babies is made up of Cassie Ramone (of Vivian Girls) and Kevin Morby (of Woods), but they'll be the first to tell you that this is 'NOT A SIDE PROJECT,' and there's no real reason to think that given the quality of all of their releases...including the band's new 7” for ‘Moonlight Mile’ b/w ‘Places,’ which was released by Woodsist Records on
