Babes is a family band: three of the members — Aaron, Zach and Sarah Rayne Leigh — are siblings. And two others — Jeffrey Baird and Bryan Harris — are cousins.

I Want Love is off Babes’ new album "Untitled (Five Tears)," released last month on Barsuk records. The band recorded "Untitled" in a mobile recording rig in locations all over Los Angeles. 

Want to see them live? Babes play the Bootleg Bar on Friday, November 20.  There's also a great — somewhat NSFW – music video for "I Want Love," directed by Doug Lussenhop, featured previously on KPCC's The Frame.
