Half Spirit of '77, half Ronettes, The Dum Dum Girls' "I Will Be" may be the most perfect girl group garage/punk album of all time. Front woman Dee Dee's energetic and taut songs mixed the sweet with the serrated in equal measure, a mixture fleshed out with pitch perfect production by Richard Gottehrer, the man responsible for "My Boyfriend's Back" and "I Want Candy," as well as producer to Voidoids, Blondie and the GoGos. Add to all of this, Dee Dee's edgy, but lush, vocals and a band that knows every right move, and you have an album for the ages. Full review here.Monday, January 3, 2011
