Known for being a member of the bands Guilty Pleasures and especially The Ponys, Jared Gummere is undeniably one of the best lyricists of his generation, having influenced Jay Reatard and the current Brooklyn scene in general. For his new project Bare Mutants, he surrounded himself with Chicago's finest: Seth Bohn of Mannequin Men on bass, Jeanine O'Toole of 1900s on backing vocals and tambourines, Matt Holland on drums, and Leslie Deckard on organ. Bare Mutants brings together Gummere's entire repertoire and creates a wall of sound full of raw, intense, and vivid emotion. Heavenly grooves that will put anyone in a trance.
