SPOUSE is an indie rock band that originated in 1995, led by frontman/singer José Ayerve. The project has gone through so many changes in its 2+ decade history — including a hiatus or two — that it’s easy to lose track of the fact that everything they’ve released is a near perfect piece of passionately poppy, catchy, indie rock gold. The New England-based band is in fine form these days, with a new EP and touring lineup featuring a stacked deck of musicians who nail every precise move in the music. On a recent stop in NYC, the band dropped by Serious Business Music in Brooklyn for this intimate performance.
