Awesome Factor: Blending ‘60s garage rock with waltzy Baroque pop and darkly romantic, spirited prose, Agent Ribbons create a fixated, storybook-like world unto itself where ghosts search for true love in the Obits section and dreams of joining the circus abound. Their theatrical, unapologetically cathartic, and playfully macabre revelry onstage makes Agent Ribbons one of our favorite live acts, and the wit and worldliness they bring to their music makes them truly one of a kind.
