The Very Most creates a world where the sun is always at a 45-degree angle, casting a warm, golden glow over everything. Their sound is a meticulously crafted version of indie pop that leans heavily into the 'twee' aesthetic without ever feeling fragile. It is music that feels both intelligent and deeply kind, utilizing orchestral flourishes like trumpets and bells to elevate simple, catchy melodies into something grander.
What truly sets them apart is Jeremy Jensen's commitment to the pop form. While many indie bands shy away from pure sweetness, The Very Most leans in, using lush vocal harmonies and jangling guitars to create a sense of genuine wonder. There is a specific clarity to their production that makes every instrument feel intentional, from the crisp snap of the snare to the bright chime of a glockenspiel.
Start with 'Congratulations Forever' to hear them at their most expansive and celebratory. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who loves the intersection of 60s sunshine pop and 90s indie sensibilities. It is music for people who still believe that a three-minute pop song can be a transformative experience.
