- It was important for the Babies to evolve from the first album, to broaden the scope topically and sonically. With all that was happening in the world in late 2008 and 2009 it felt impossible not to have the events of the times dictate the story and direction of the album. That in of itself was an enormous creative shift and it made my job a lot easier. These sessions yielded the Weight of the World EP (2010) and the bands second full length LP, Flawed Logic (2011). Releases that speak of change, war, Wall Street, family, and the struggle to wade through it all; be it alone or with a partner; short stories of different individuals and couples trying to navigate through modern day life hoping to at least break even. Mr. Hamilton says of the album: Its about pressure. Pressure is always a part of life but in recent times it feels a bit heavier. Husband, wife, son, daughter, boss, soldier, what everWere feeling the pinch and trying to figure out how to cope. At least thats the way Im calling it. Response to the album has been overwhelmingly positive as Atlas and Anchor states, American Babies Flawed Logic may the best Americana, Alt-Country or whatever you want to call it album of the year,and State of Mind Magazine agrees saying, hopefully 2011 will produce more records like Flawed Logic definitely one of the best to come out this year. Since the release of Flawed Logic, Hamilton has found a more permanent, likeminded line up to fill out the band with Brooklyn-based drummer Dave Butler (Lee Scratch Perry, Dub is a Weapon) and fellow Philly folks Adam Flicker (The Brakes) on keys and Mark Karwan on Bass. The band has been turning heads all year and will be living on the road for the forseable future
