Murder Mystery boasts a quote from Belle & Sebastian’s Stuart Murdoch on its MySpace page amid favorable lines from reviews in The New Yorker and The Village Voice. The king of twee says, “The kids will eat them up.” Whether or not the compliment was nabbed from someone coincidentally named Stuart Murdoch is irrelevant, because the statement still rings true. Murder Mystery is comprised of a set of siblings, Jeremy and Laura Coleman, who switch off vocal duties and two buds, Adam Fels and Graham Roberts. Together, they write songs that are not quite sickeningly twee, but have an endearing sense of innocence set to incredibly infectious hooks. These tunes would have made a killer John Hughes soundtrack with the ‘80s synths and sweet lyrics. After listening to Murder Mystery for the first time, I was convinced that they traveled back to the future to bring the sounds from the ‘80s in immaculate form, but there are modern touches that distinguish the band from being a mere throwback group. Eat up the quartet’s luscious tunes with the free downloads on its site. If you’re not going to The Deli’s showcase at The Living Room, which you should be at and we hope to see you there, you better be checking out Murder Mystery at Trash Bar on Thursday. They will be hitting the stage at 11 p.m. – Nancy Chow
