I've got a new crush on a great little band.
The Pipettes' album, We Are The Pipettes, came out in the U.S. about a year ago, and while I had heard of them, I hadn't gotten a chance to hear them until recently.
The sound is very retro - a mix of disco beat and early 60s girl group sound (think he Ronettes or the Shirelles) but mixed with some very modern sound, like the ethereal, britpop vocal overlaying the dance beat in "Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me."
They're gimmicky almost in the extreme, complete with the choreographed girl-group dancing, polka dot dresses and sex-on-a-stick image - but I think I'm in love.
