7.8 out of 10With the recent lo-fi/garage/shoegaze explosion it seems like these all female lo-fi fuzz bands are just falling out of the sky. The groups that have been getting the most attention are Vivian Girls, Best Coast, and of course Dum Dum Girls. In my opinion I think Dum Dum Girls might just have them all beat! The band definitely possesses some great song writing skills and the girls can all actually sing quite well, unlike some of their peers. This 7" contains the first single from their Sub Pop debut album "I Will Be" which hits stores March 30th. The B-side "Play With Fire" is a nice change from the up-beat sing along A-side "Jail La La". "Play With Fire" showcases the bands more shoegaze side, which I love. The track starts with a fuzzy tremelo guitar kicking into an almost My Bloody Valentine type jam. Overall this 7" totally rocks, these girls have their shit together! The band has some previous releases on Captured Tracks, and Art Fag Recordings. In addition to the Sub Pop debut coming out at the end of the month, Dum Dum Girls have a cassette tape EP coming out very soon on Art Fag.
