Ex-Doris Henson Frontman’s New Band

Since the October demise of local favorite Doris Henson, the band’s eccentric leader and primary power, Matt Dunehoo, moved to New York and has gotten deep into the beginnings of a new music project.

Meet Baby Teardrops.

Your homework for the weekend is to listen to the Baby Teardrops music player, which is loaded up with 10 lo-fi, homespun nuggets. Some of them sound like DH songs that never were (“Banged in the Heart,” “I Don’t Wanna Go Home, I Wanna Go Home” and the broke-ass epic “Still Singing the Same Songs”). Others sound like Syd Barrett was exhaling pink vapors into Dunehoo’s mind when he was recording (“Why Is No One Knocking On My Door?” “Let It Roll”). Overall, very promising material.

Let us know what you think. The web site is totally weird, though, I mean, look at this main-page image:

Matt, are you OK?

Well, at least the music speaks well for itself.
