Margot & the Nuclear So and So's are an eight-piece band from Indianapolis, IN.

"Margot is as much about quietude as it is about energy, and its songs are intricately woven together into something much more familiar and cozy, in spite of the multitude of sounds used. And while the contributions to the songs feel collaborative, they’re more controlled than spontaneous, and center around the creative vision of songwriter Richard Edwards. Though Emily Watkins’s Rhodes piano and synths or Jesse Lee’s cello might grab the spotlight as an immediate focal point, it’s the character of the songs that Edwards writes that gives Margot its winter chill, world-weary beauty, and sad-eyed romanticism.

It’s a comfortable retro cool; the sensation generated by a really great thrift store on a late-autumn afternoon. The band has teasingly described itself as sex-folk and scarf-rock, the latter highlighting the knit-wear coziness of its indie aesthetic."-popmatters.com
