Broken Baby
Broken Baby
(Poor Man/Palo Santo)
4/5 Stars
Post-punk comes in many different forms these days, and in the case of this Los Angeles duo it's a varied and memorable experience where searing, melodic sounds and tuneful grittiness draws parallels to Touch and Go Records as well as '80s New Wave stars.
While some tunes are giant, frenzied rock'n'roll where power and attitude are present in spades, elsewhere we get dance-friendly electro-pop and even groove filled, bluesy moments appear. One thing that never wavers are the strong vocal acrobatics from Amber Bollinger and the sharp songwriting prowess from Alex Dezen (The Damnwells), whose chemistry really make this debut album stand apart from the flock. If you're keen on what the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are doing, and still spin your Blondie records occasionally, you need to hear this.
