...according to our Phil on 26 August 2010.
Sisu is Sandy Vu from The Dum Dum Girls and this is her debut release of her own new thing which she can call her own. It's good to have something you feel like you can call your own. Apparently the guy who runs the label liked this so much he played the songs on loop for 3 hours. That's a level of commitment I personally have to admire being that I don't think I can do anything at all for 3 hours without wandering off in front of traffic or something. Sandy's vocals on Sharp teeth really sound like Natasha Bat For Lashes Khan and mix those in with a slow plodding beat, a nice late 80's slightly gothy bassline and some Brad Laner/ Medicine abrasive guitars and you've got the pop smash on your hands. It comes in an amazing sleeve with various shapes cut out of it and some crazy splatty coloured vinyl. Lovely lovely lovely looking thing I say!
Sandy Vu is the most recent addition to Dum Dum Girls. Her drumming has given the band the final blast they needed to reach their live perfection. Last time DDG played in Italy, Sandy had told me she had recorded some tracks with her other band. Straight after the gig I went back home to listen to the tunes on the band's website. I listened to those songs on loop for about three hours, uninterrupted. The idea for the cover reminded me of the fragmented pop sound of the music, with it’s edgy shapes. Sandy and I went crazy trying to get the artwork right but we finally managed to create a gem. Mixed by Lars Stalfors of Mars Volta.
