The 88
Two sides to every story, a third man in the shadows, seven lords a leapin’, a land of a thousand dances, fifty ways to leave your lover. 88 keys on the piano….88 constellations in the sky….the infinity sign….the most auspicious number in china….88 mph to get Back To The Future…88 cities in Los Angeles…a great French Kicks song. Welcome to the world of the 88.

With their second album, Over and Over, The 88 refute the myth that art and the three-and-a-half-minute pop song can’t get along. While the new record shares the same rollicking spirit as its predecessor, Kind of Light, it also marks a sonic leap forward for the Los Angeles-based quintet. The buoyant melodies and general jollity that characterized album one infuse all 12 tracks of their sophomore release, only this time with an expanded sound, a result, no doubt, of the group’s artistic growth
