"Things can be so awful but at least they can be bliss."
-Dee Dee Penny
Dee Dee, also known as Kristen Gundred, formed Dum Dum Girls back in 2008. Quickly gaining attention from her solo songs, Sub Pop signed her in 2009 and a four piece band formed as a result. They went on to release their first full album, I Will Be, the following year. Their new album is due out this September and pre-orders were just made possible two days ago (Aug. 8th).
Inspired by the likes of The Ramones, Patti Smith, The Beach Boys and Billie Holliday, DDG have a really nice throwback, stripped-down sound that doesn't try too hard to impress. With subtle notes of Blondie (producer Richard Gottehrer produced Blondie as well) and other Rockabilly-esque artists, "Bhang, Bhang, I'm a Burnout" turns distorted echo into loveable pop. Enjoy.
