Their debut UK single, ‘Last Of Me’, was championed by Graham Norton on his BBC Radio 2, with the TV personality inviting them to appear on his BBC television talk show.
Influenced by 50s and 60s pop/soul and folk, the band have a sound that sits somewhere between The House Martins, The Ronettes and The Beach Boys. Spring-loaded handclaps and irresistible sing-along choruses cradle often bittersweet tales of love, friendship and, ultimately, identity, providing unexpected levels of depth to their rootsy, pop anthems in waiting.
The Musgraves’ 11 song debut album You That Way I This Way is set to release in the US via OK! Good Records on April 16, and could quite possibly be the anti-depressant to the recent surge of bitter-sweet anthems of love and loss from bands like The Lumineers, Of Monsters and Men, and The Head And The Heart.

“...Beautifully crafted Pop-Folk songs that capture a tremendous sense of effortless energy showing a song writing ability well beyond their years and far above that of you’re average band. Undoubtedly they have potential to go far...”
BBC West Midlands
“...The freshness and enthusiasm of these musicians has been coupled with mature song writing and a polished production sound rarely found on a debut independent release. The result is folk-infused alt-pop at its best...”

Comfortable Shoes
The Musgraves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooooohhh
We said it was better
When we were together,
We said it was just,
A little hic-up
But now that I'm here
In comfortable shoes,
The decisions I choose
I need to, to fall back into love with you
I need, to find the reason we split up
Oh oh
To, to fall back into love with you
Many a time I've been a fool,
Many a time I've been a fool
Well I just hope I can forget
You know you annoy me
In your own special way,
Starting to question
Every word I say,
But now that I'm here
In comfortable shoes
I start to remember
The things that I will lose.
I need to, to fall back into love with you
I need, to find the reason we split up
Oh oh
To, to fall back into love with you
Many a time I've been a fool,
Many a time I've been a fool
Well I just hope I can forget
Oh oh oh oh
(Whistles)
Many a time I've been a fool,
Many a time I've been a fool
Well I just hope I can forget
I need to, to fall back into love with you
I need to, to fall back into love with you
I need to, to fall back into love with you
I need to, to fall back into love
Ooooooh
Oooooh
Ooooooh
Oh oh
Oooooooh
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
I need to, to fall back into love with you
I need to, to fall back into love with you
I need to, to fall back into love with you
I need to, to fall back into love with you
Oh I need to
