==Career==
Ages and Ages came together in 2009, founded by Tim Perry (vocals, guitar), Rob Oberdorfer (bass, percussion, vocals), [[Graham Arthur Mackenzie]] (percussion, vocals), Kate O'Brien-Clarke (violin, percussion, vocals), Lisa Stringfield (vocals, percussion), Liz Robins (vocals, percussion) and Daniel Hunt (drums, percussion, vocals), alongside other friends and players from Portland’s ever-fertile music community. ''Alright You Restless'' arrived two years later and immediately proved a critical favorite. An ardent audience also surfaced, a committed cohort that ironically included President Barack Obama who included (without permission, mind) the album’s "No Nostalgia," a song "about transcending "the way things can get dark and you can feel claustrophobic, unsatisfied with the status quo" on his 2012 campaign playlist. Another one of their most famous songs is "Do The Right Thing." This song received much attention when they played it at the SXSW during March.

Ages and Ages is an American rock band from Portland, Oregon.[1] Every member of the band sings[1] accompanied by handclaps, shakers and noise-makers.[2]

The group was voted as a top Portland band by Willamette Week.[3] In 2011, they signed a record deal with Partisan Records and have since undertaken several national U.S. tours. In 2013 the band changed their name from AgesandAges to Ages and Ages. The rechristened band played their first European dates in the winter of 2014.[4]

Career

Ages and Ages was formed in 2009, founded by Tim Perry (vocals, guitar), Rob Oberdorfer (bass, percussion, vocals), Graham Arthur Mackenzie (percussion, vocals), Kate O'Brien-Clarke (violin, percussion, vocals), Lisa Stringfield (vocals, percussion), Liz Robins (vocals, percussion) and Daniel Hunt (drums, percussion, vocals), alongside others from Portland's music community.

Alright You Restless arrived two years later and immediately proved a critical favorite. An ardent audience also surfaced, a committed cohort that included President Barack Obama who included the album's "No Nostalgia," a song "about transcending "the way things can get dark and you can feel claustrophobic, unsatisfied with the status quo" on his 2012 campaign playlist. [5]

Ages and Ages performed at South by Southwest in Austin in March 2011.[1][2] Their song "No Nostalgia" from their first album, Alright You Restless, was previewed on NPR.[6] The album was recorded "almost entirely live" with seven voices singing into a single microphone, according to one account.[7] It sounds like "a group of friends who drive around in a van singing songs wherever anyone will let them sing," according to critic Ryan White of The Oregonian.[7]

The group draws "significant sonic influence from his religious upbringing" and from having seven members helps achieve a "congregation sound" even though the lyrics are basically secular thematically.[8] Perry said the sound was achieved by "all the voices chiming in, that swell and spontaneous movement that grabs you," in an interview.[8] In 2011, they released a video for the song "Navy Parade," which was directed by Alicia J. Rose[9][10] Alright You Restless was produced by Kevin Robinson.[9]

In 2014 the band released the album Divisionary which was produced by Tony Lash.[5]

In 2014, the song Do the Right Thing was featured at the end of season 2 episode 1, Lord Baltimore, of The Blacklist.

In August 2016, Ages and Ages released their third record Something to Ruin on Partisan Records.[11] The album was recorded at Isaac Brock's, Ice Cream Party Studios with the Modest Mouse front-man adding guitar to the track "So Hazy". The first single "They Want More" premiered on the June 7, 2016 episode of the NPR Podcast All Songs Considered.[12] Ages and Age's emphasis on featuring electronic and synthetic sounds makes Something to Ruin sonic a departure from their previous albums. The band members cite a trip to Central America and the observation of their community being exploited by gentrification as the catalyst for the record.[13]
