Reviewed on Dusted.
Ok, boy/girl [edit: oops, 2 girls], drums / guitar, garage rock with the simplicity of days of yore, 50's via 60's via 90's via Exploding Hearts via Vivian Girls. In short, here's an album utterly without invention, not even reinventing things that haven't been re-re-invented before. Which is cool if you can weild all that simplicity and reference to do something really catchy. But this isn't that. Its fine it has its moments, but its too much the same, too simple, too boring, even over its short running length. The curiously sobering chappo fiasco notwithstanding, I will pull no punches - this didn't move me enough to want to listen to it again or give it better than 2.5/5

this band is two women - not a boy / girl duo.
ReplyDeleteRight you are - I stand corrected - maybe it just had that vaguely twee boy/girl sound and threw me off the trail.
