The Dum Dum Girls, once a solo project of bandleader Dee Dee, have evolved into a fully functioning band with the aid of ex-Vivian Girls/Crystal Stilts drummer Frankie Rose and her friend’s Jules and Bambi. Following in the footsteps of the Vivian Girls, the four of them make girl pop with a slight Jesus and the Mary Chain edge. Having Richard Gottehrer, known for writing “My Boyfriend’s Back,” behind the decks smoothes out the lo-fi quality of their earlier work. The first single of their soon to be released record I Will Be is today’s song, “Jail La La.” The verses move quickly into a highly addictive chorus on top of a quick drum beat and dreamy guitars underneath. If you like the work of recent noise-pop artists like Best Coast or classic girl groups like the Ronettes then this is for you.Dum Dum Girls 12" EP - Yours Alone (2009)
