DUM DUM GIRLS
"END OF DAZE" (EP)
SubPop
2012
Nunca he sido un gran seguidor de bandas liderada por chicas, han habido muchas que me han gustado (L7, Babes in Toyland, Bikini Kill, etc...) pero ninguna me ha llegado a cautivar y elevarlas al estatus de preferidas, aunque amo las voces femeninas la actitud de ellas siempre me parecieron forzadas y poco creibles queriendo siempre dar ese toque de rebeldía de chicas malas que por mi parte les quitaba merito a lo que hacían.
Dum Dum Girls se alejan de querer ser rebeldes Riot Grrls, ellas están mas cómodas con un sonido nostálgico y vintage, un sonido que es reconocible por tener de productor a Sune Rose Wagner uno de los lideres de "The Raveonettes".
Este EP de cinco canciones es un entremés de espera del que será su tercer LP, cinco canciones muy cuidadas con esas melodías personales que ya nos tienen acostumbrados la banda californiana. Sonidos 60's, atmósferas Dream Pop y C-86 con distorsiones de guitarras hace de este EP un placer para los oídos. Mucho mas pop y accesible que su anterior trabajo "Only in Dreams", asi que si es el preludio de lo que nos espera de su próximo disco, estoy seguro que será uno de los discos del año.
En principio las canciones de este EP estaban destinadas a ser caras B del "Only in Dreams" pero acabaron decidiendo que serian perfectas para un EP, y no les faltó razón.
Temas calmados y tristes como a mí me gustan les dan un intimísmo desmesurado como "Lord Knows" también tendría que destacar la versión de "Strawberry Switchblade - Trees and Flowers" hacen de este EP una maravilla.
No da mas placer que desintegrarse en la felicidad de una escucha de un disco a oscuras.
I've never been a big fan of bands led by women, there have been many that I liked (L7, Babes in Toyland, Bikini Kill, etc ...) but none has come to captivate me and elevate them to the status of preferred but love female voices their attitude always seemed forced and implausible always wanting to bring a touch of defiance of bad girls that robbed them of me merit to what they did.
Dum Dum Girls wanting to be away from Riot Grrls rebels, they are more comfortable with a nostalgic and vintage sound, a sound that is recognizable by having producer to Sune Rose Wagner one of the leaders of "The Raveonettes".
This five-song EP is an appetizer waiting to be his third LP, manicured five songs with such personal melodies and we have used the Californian band. 60's sounds, atmospheres Dream Pop and C-86 with guitar distortion makes this EP a treat for the ears. Much more pop and accessible than his previous work "Only in Dreams", so if it is a prelude to what we can expect from his upcoming album, I'm sure it will be one of the albums of the year.
In principle the songs on this EP were meant to be B-sides of "Only in Dreams" but ended up deciding it would be perfect for an EP, and did not lack reason.
Topics calm and sad like I like give them a disproportionate intimacy as "Lord Knows" would also have to highlight the release of "Strawberry Switchblade - Trees and Flowers" make this EP a marvel.
It gives more pleasure to disintegrate in the happiness of a playback of a disc in the dark.
