...and His Baby Blue

“The fifth in Polyvinyl's short-lived series of singles, And His Baby Blue probably came as a big shock to anyone familiar with Sean Na-Na's (previously Tillman) previous work with the AmRep punk trio Calvin Krime. The three moody pop songs on this debut single are noticeably absent of Tillman's familiar tongue-in-cheek humor, resulting in a surprisingly mature, pensive sound. Not that the songs are weighty or depressing; the My Favorite Things-style catalog reminiscence of Two of the Same Name is dedicated to Mr. Na-Na's big sister as a wedding gift, and Girls Girls Girls! is an upbeat acoustic love song. Recorded in the hotbed of contemplative {indie pop}, Olymipa, WA, and abetted by Lois Maffeo's backing vocals and Phil Elvrum's production, And His Baby Blue makes for a great soundtrack to a nice, cloudy afternoon.” ~ Bryan Carroll, All Music Guide
