Dum Dum Girls - End of Daze (CD, 12" vinyl)

• ‘End Of Daze’ was recorded in 2011 and 2012 with Sune Rose Wagner of The Raveonettes and Dee Dee’s longtime producer Richard Gottehrer, whose track record includes the Brill Building, CBGB, and Sire Records. 

• ‘End Of Daze’ offers a bracing, daring sonic example of an artist evolving in her understanding of the world. 

• ‘End Of Daze’ flows from a pair of bombastic opening tracks, through the simmering, plaintive cover of Strawberry Switchblade’s ‘Trees And Flowers’, to the regretful ballad ‘Lord Knows’, in which Dee Dee’s voice remains rich yet crystalline, a gorgeous, toned instrument revealing an awareness of fear and misstep. 

• Closing the mini album is ‘Season In Hell’, a raucous and practically joyful closing of the book on past pains, and, perhaps more importantly, a looking forward (“Doesn't the dawn look divine?”) to the future.
