On paper, No Kids sound like a potential disaster—a geeky
Canadian indie-rock trio that combine glee-club a capella,
doo-wop, new jack swing, modern R&B, and chamber pop. On their debut full-length, Come into My House, the band (featuring
former members of P:ano) turn these improbable ingredients into
pitch-perfect pop genius—lonely and lovesick postcards from an empty, off-season beach house, stamped with spare percussion,
piano, as well as string and wind instruments, all led by the trio’s
laid-back but watertight vocal harmonies. With Portland’s Parenthetical
Girls and Belgium’s White Circle Crime Club. (Sunset Tavern, 5433
