(Domino)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Read my review at Metro Times Blogs.
Another excellent album I must come out and rally behind late in the year, as it's been forgotten in favor of Cults' (admittedly great) debut and St. Vincent's (good but not as good as this) Strange Mercy. This is the most solid and eclectic female-led pop confection around at the moment, with a full breadth of disparate influences, Nico to the Supremes to dream pop to Middle Eastern mystery. So much of the great music released in 2011 has been dreary, fatalist, beaten; how nice to hear a great fun record again. Just try not to be won over by "Gene Ciampi."
