So, Dum Dum Girls, eh? More of the same lo-fi stuff that has been coming out lately. I like this album almost as much as I'm in love with the Best Coast 7"s that have been coming out lately which is saying a lot.
Dum Dum Girls don't have that awesome 50's rock sound that Best Coast dips into, but they have kind of a twee influence. This is a welcome respite from the lo-fi surf stuff that has been floating around these past months (which I also love..I'm just overloaded on it a little bit. Except Surfer Blood. Best band ever.)
Anyway. This EP makes me think a little bit of some old Camera Obscura with some fuzz on top for good measure. Other times it makes me think of a slightly better Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Either way, get this album, it's amazing.
Currently unavailable on cd because it sold out, but try iTunes, maybe.
Try it here.
