Track of the Moment: Bedroom Eyes by The Dum Dum Girls


            Nothing helps to fix the Monday blues like some good news!  In this case I found out the Dum Dum Girls are coming out with a new EP.  If there’s one thing I like more then noise rock is dream-pop noise rock, and the Dum Dum girls newest release was chock full of that noise. Their name allegedly comes from The Vaselines' album “Dum Dum” and the Iggy Pop song "Dum Dum Boys" which helps to give you a bit of an idea of what they’re about.
This foursome from Sub Pop records has a great splash of nostalgia in their style.  Even the music video has a great yesteryear feel to it.  Between the bright backdrop, outfits, and kaleidoscope effect it manages to be entertaining without having to use much more then show them playing music. 
One complaint I often have with pop is that it’s so sterilized.  The production is so prevalent in the music making it “perfect” and removing the human element from the music.  These guys are certainly poppy, but they seem like they could be just as home in a garage as they do in a studio.  Take a listen and judge for yourself.  Be on the look out for “End of Daze” dropping (hopefully) September 25th.  For news and tour dates check out their website.
