The Margot referenced in this band’s name is, apparently, Margot Tennenbaum, which explains the Wes Anderson-y air of cute, aesthetically tidy melancholy. This song is certainly catchy — I know, because I listened to it just once about a week ago, filed it under “maybe,” and this morning woke up to find the opening phrase unexpectedly and persistently stuck in my head.
— T.B.
