Also pressed on to a little Third Man vinyl are The Black Belles, a lady troupe who number Shelby Lynne among their number. On 'What Can I Do' they do surfy garagey rock with classic melodies a la Thee Headcoatees, delivered with a vocal style not too far removed from the likes of Karen O (who Brian actually thought it was for a minute there). I like this but I'm struggling to think of much else to say about it.. It's one of those 'nothing really new but a very good example of a particular type' sort of things.

What their label says...

The second single is from a new band called The Black Belles. The release captures a modern twist to a sound heavily rooted in the soul and garage rock of the 60 s. Discovered by Jack White and brought to Third Man Studios for their first recordings, What Can I Do and Lies are the band s inaugural release and showcase their unique ability to pay homage to their roots while also pushing their music into new territories.
