Music Review: “Kiss Me by the Water Cooler” by Hero & Leander

TRACK 3

“Kiss Me by the Water Cooler”

From Hero & Leander’s Tumble

TAPETE RECORDS

Liner notes: “Kiss me while you dry your hair/Kiss me in your underwear,” Emily Sills sings in this duet with bandmate Gary Cansell, channeling the exuberance of an old Broadway musical.

Behind the music: The UK sextet is named after a doomed romance from Greek mythology. But its shiny debut is more optimistic.
