This is one of the best albums of 2009 if you’re into female-fronted indie rock. And it’s a complete game effort, unlike these six-inning pansies that dominate major league pitching staffs these days.
“Solitaire” is the first track and reminds me of one of my favorite phrases: Fine, just sit there by yourself and play solitaire. Two can play at that game!
“Something New” starts out with some fun synths and is also a well-put-together rock song. They won’t be able to pull this off on their next album because it will sound unimaginative, but that’s why the first album is so fun for a band. No matter what it is, the band has never done it before.
“Re: Your Letter” makes me smile, or at least the title does, because that’s what some of the best spam uses as a subject line. The song has a lot of the drumming style of “Solitaire,” so that means I like this one too. “Mirror, Mirror” is not an M2M cover. It is however, cleverly crafted and has a cute chorus.
There’s a ton of fun stuff here. I can’t wait for them to tour locally.
