Casper & the Cookies
If you’ve never heard Casper & the Cookies, do yourself a favor; dismiss any preconceived notions. Forget that Jason played with of Montreal. Cast aside the reports of live shows replete with fake eyelashes, though it does look fantastic. You’re going to have to take Casper & the Cookies on their own terms. Fail to do so and you will miss some of the most original pop music to come along in years. Over the course of three albums Athens, GA’s finest have managed to carve out an aesthetic all their own, a labyrinthine tangle of ear-worm melodies, plot-twist production, and the history of popular music.
LATEST RELEASE: Modern Silence (HHBTM / PIAPTK Records) 2009
Band Buzz
Magnet Magazine on "Modern Silence"
“[Modern Silence] recalls NeSmith’s former band, Of Montreal, minus the constant sex imagery.”

A colorful musical rainbow
“Rocking from Athens, GA Casper & The Cookies are a fun little rock and roll band. They’re everything you like best about The Monkees, Nick Lowe, the dB’s, XTC, Sparks, the B-52’s, and earlier Bowie all wrapped up in one colorful musical ribbon.”
