So you know – KRISTIN KONTROL (aka Dee Dee from Dum Dum Girls) will be touring with Garbage this summer.
Kristin is darker, more electronic, more glam — and basically more more on her debut album, X-Communicate (out now on Sub Pop).
It’s getting some major love across the board – listen to title track “X-Communicate” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrAfGtpLiQ4
“She’s hitting reset, forcing us to rise to the occasion and see female creators as something more than our preconceptions.” MTV News
“…the springy cushion of bass arpeggios, synth pads, and ringing guitars smartly borrows from Hi-NRG acts like Evelyn Thomas and Bananarama as well as sleek, wavy brooders like New Order and Pet Shop Boys. But the results are far too opulent to scan as merely retro. If “X-Communicate” were a look on “Project Runway,” it’d find Nina Garcia gushing about how expensive it sounds.” – Pitchfork
It’s one of those songs I never get tired of, even after listening to it on SiriusXMU all day 🙂
