Morning Aural: Mates of State
Hubbie and Wifey Make Beautiful Music


Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel may be one of our favorite couples in history. If not that, they're certainly one of our favorite married musical duo.

Getting together in Lawrence Kansas, the couple soon became inseparable. From 1997 until the turn of the century, the played in a foursome called Vosotros. Though she loved playing, Gardner decided to try her hand at medical school. Thankfully it didn't work out and the lovebirds decided to tour together, deeming themselves Mates of State.

Since then, they've gone on to record four album, the most recent of which, Bring It Back, came out this year. Though keeping with their tradition of dual harmony, poppy tempos and resilient drums, the album has a more celebratory air than some of their previous efforts, no doubt influenced by the birth of their daughter, Magnolia.

Here's the video for their song, "Fraud in the '80s" from the aforementioned album. If you like what you hear/see, head on over to their website.
