Today's Quick Mention: Looks like The
Dismemberment Plan are back. They've decided
to do a quick jaunt down the East Coast early next
year, and Barsuk has announced that they'll be
reissuing Emergency And I
as a snazzy double LP
on January 11. Hooray for reunions!
It's not as though they need to be replaced or that
there aren't enough fuzzy pop acts in the world, but
the next Dum Dum Girls is definitely going to be the
Costa Rican-based Las Robertas. Cry Out
Loud, which is the all-girl group's debut,
carries the name of producer Jon Greene (DDG, Crocodiles, Muslims)
on it
and is due October 12 on Art Fag Recordings. Enjoy.
:Las
Robertas - Back To The End:
It's not easy to stand out in the super trendy and overly
crowded realm of fuzzy pop, and yet these ladies make it
seem sort of effortless. Yes, they're good at crafting
the kind of songs that fans of the genre can really
appreciate, but I think what allows them to excel is the
cool and confident attitude that oozes through their music.
You should jump on this bandwagon now.
