Portland, Oregon songwriters Johnny Clay (The Dimes), Dave Gulick and Nat Johnson (Derby) have formed a new and exciting collaboration called Ants Ants Ants, who invaded the national family music scene last year with their “smart, catchy kids' pop” album Why Why Why. The band just released The Robot EP and a special collector’s edition vinyl will be available in the fall.
With stylistic nods to 1970’s era Sesame Street, School House Rock, and "The Point" by Harry Nilsson, Ants Ants Ants recalls the best elements of a fun and fanciful childhood – the thrill of knocking down a tower of blocks; the fun of imagining what your dog is thinking; a make believe world where nocturnal animals meet in the park at night to play games.
With their family friendly lyrics and optimistic instrumentation, this music offers an invitation into that golden childhood we dream of having ourselves and creating for the ones we love.
