I didn't know much about The Sandwitches when I first heard their new LP Mrs. Jones' Cookies. I assumed they were from the Northwest - they've got that whole cutesy, but still too cool for school thing down pat. Lo and behold, they're San Fransiscans, and they're comprised of former members of The Fresh & Onlys. None of this is shocking, but it is a pleasant surprise, and pleasant surprises are the friendly cousins of shock.Mrs. Jones' Cookies is an off-kilter dose of Americana and back porch sing-along punk & soul that is just as easily grating as it is gratifying. I recommend you have a listen. If it doesn't grab you right away, have a few listens before you write it off. This is one of those oddly endearing records that rewards repeated listening. It also loves to cuddle.
