Pedantra introduced me to Ringo Deathstarr and man, they are so very much my thing. They wear their influences (e.g. my bloody valentine, lush, medicine, curve, the primitives) on their sleeves, but the thing is they do it perfectly.

I just keep listening to their songs on repeat, they've earwormed me completely.

so okay if you've got a thing for throwbacks to bands like sarge / the reputation / veruca salt / the breeders / liz phair / etc., this fits the bill nicely:

"electro swing" sounds like it shouldn't exist but for this song at least I think it actually works

sounds a little bit like beth gibbons on cocaine and x

saw these guys the other day, they were great

sort of an updated carole king/carly simon vibe on this song

I now desperately want to play this to an unsuspecting audience somewhere

but somehow I suspect I would be the only one laughing like a loon

happy spring byob!

and if that's not tough enough for you, have a bonus song from the same album:

I think "caffeine-free faux-punk fatigues" is one of my favorite musical turns of phrase ever

beautiful friend of mine tuned me into this and it's been making me smile and weep

I like it, thanks! sounds like a cross between magnapop's "open the door" and mazzy star's "fade into you"

hm, if your spring music doesn't involve maidens ritually dancing themselves to death, how can we be sure the gods will be appeased?

however in this case I'll allow it

a bit of B-52s appreciation if I may

yes I like all the popular songs you like, love shack, rock lobster, etc, they are v good

but I have recently been struck by how . . . timelessly modern their sound is

my hackles are raised by songs like

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl_EEpRfrkk

and

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXmnmvDl-ao

which is doubly cool because it is a reference to a twilight zone episode, The Bewitchin' Pool

I also love how they joyously and shamelessly sing songs that are blatant sexual metaphors, as in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTGRxNqhKX4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNwC0sp-uA4

and I guess beyond that, somehow more than most other bands they have a streak of . . . utopian sci-fi, a vision of a future that would now be considered retro, obsolete. if you have ever read the short story "The Gernsback Continuum" you have an idea of the quality I'm talking about, a vision of the future that is firmly embedded in the past.

I will admit that, at one point, I sort of felt like "the female singers in this band are awesome, why does Fred Schneider mess it all up with his campy vocals?" honestly I think it just took me time to appreciate the sound the band was going for; at this point I feel like his voice is an intrinsic part of the overall feel.
