We Are The Pipettes
Memphis Industries
2006
Rating: 6.5 dirty shapes out of 10
Is this Pipettes album the start of a new trend of 60’s girl group-inspired music or a one-off novelty rock album that will be forgotten in six months? After listening to the debut album of this set of English popsters I’m still not sure of the answer, but I do know it sounds mighty good to me right now. This fact is probably helped along by how much I’ve been enjoying the Rhino Records box set “One Kiss Can Lead To Another: Girl Group Sounds Lost & Found”, so this release caught me at just the right time. You’ve got a cute trio of ladies in matching vintage outfits, singing and dancing in unison to songs with titles such as “Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me” and “It Hurts To See You Dance So Well” – what’s not to love? Any fan of cute pop songs would do well to at least give this a chance. And buy that Rhino box set while you are at it if you want a dose of the real deal – a touch pricy, but worth every cent.
