CD DetailsSynopsis
Product Description I Will Be is the debut full-length by the Dum Dum Girls. Recorded at home by Dee Dee and mixed with the help of Richard Gottehrer (Strangeloves, Voidoids, Blondie, The Go-Gos and, more recently, The Raveonettes), I Will Be is a decidedly medium-fi record. Just under thirty minutes with eleven songs, it's a short tribute to love, fun and the classic pop form of the '60s girl groups and early punk rockers. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsDespite the put on, it's actually good. The Ox | 04/22/2010 (4 out of 5 stars) "Based off hearing Kristin Gundred's last band, "Grand Ol' Party", it's obvious that this whole concept is a put-on of sorts. From the outfits, "too cool" stoic poses the live band has adapted and under achiever production. Just take a listen to the former project. How could someone go from trying to be a 90's Grace Slick, howling away like a chicken in what looked like a spring break cover band to fronting this lo-fi throwback? It definitely raises doubts on the validity of the group's real agenda but nonetheless, who cares. The songs are good and despite my conclusions, I do actually like the album a lot. Insincerity or not. These days, finding something pure on any label is an unlikely venture for an industry that's become increasingly more geared towards image and hype rather than craft. The tracks are strong, the production is dead-on and the songs are short and to the point. The music could have easily taken a turn for the worst if the noise was cleaned up. The Julian Casablancas blown vocal effect surprisingly hasn't worn out it's welcome and sounds comfortable surrounding what would otherwise be a "too perfect" voice. With the exception of the jarring male vocals in "Blank Girl", these numbers are all fantastic. The highlights are "Jail La La", "Everybody's Out", the neo-psychedelic title track "I Will Be" and the beautiful cover of "Baby Don't Go" which closes the album. Lot's of promise here and it will be interesting to see where this band chooses to run with the formula they're riding. " Post-Lo-Fi Gem Perfik | Santa Monica, CA | 04/01/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "In 2009 I found myself really into 'lo-fi' genre in general. I hoped that when the dust cleared there would be some great artists who move forward and start working with a good producers/engineers/mixers etc and make music for 'everybody'. Up until i heard "I Will Be" that was not the case. A lot of the 'lo-fi' artists seemed to have peaked and not grown. "I Will Be" is an amazing record that will live on. It is not lo-fi nor is it extremely polished. All it is is a great record that is a great jumping off point for what hopefully is a long and fruitful career." Great indie sound Rich Ball | Washington, DC | 03/30/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "Heavy on distortion and smart on lyrics, Dum Dum Girls channels the lost 90s alternative energy from Velocity Girl, Jale, The Breeders, Eve's Plum, and other lost greats."
