Los Angeles' Dum Dum Girls, fronted by Kristin "Dee Dee" Gundred,
debuted with the punk-pop of I Will Be (Sub Pop, 2010), overall
an infusion of jovial adolescent fun into an antiquated format.
Past the pretentious dark dance elegy It Only Takes One Night, the
band gets existential in
Bhang Bhang I'm A Burnout (oddly reminiscent of U2's I Will Follow)
and the breathless rigmarole of Jail La La, that borrows the hooks and harmonies of the sunny uptempo 1960s.
The band can rock out, as they do in the
Indian-tinged distorted garage rave-up Oh Mein M
and in the breezy and mildly psychedelic I Will Be.
They can also fall into catatonic dejection, as they do in the
cuddlecore ditties Rest Of Our Lives and Blank Girl.
There was nothing revolutionary. In fact, the whole project was clearly
sitting on flaky foundations. They made the mistake of taking themselves
seriously on the EP He Gets Me High (Sub Pop, 2011), with the naive
Wrong Feels Right and the aggressive
He Gets Me High.
The four-song RP
He Gets Me High (Sub Pop, 2011) also contains the exuberant
Wrong Feels Right.
Suddenly morphed into a Chrissie Hynde
(Pretenders)
soundalike, Kristin Gundred
Only In Dreams (Subpop, 2011)
the six-minute slocore ballad "Coming Down." The Buddy Holly-esque "Heartbeat"
the rockers ("Bedroom Eyes," "Just a Creep" and "Teardrops on My Pillow"
