Can't stop listening to Aussie born, LA based Brody Dalle's band Spinnerette's debut, self titled. I esp. love how she borrows her name from her fave actress Beatrice Dalle from the amazing movie 'Betty Blue' (which she did after divorcing her first husband, Tim Armstrong from Rancid).Desp
erate, howling, blood sweat & tears ROCK - scorching vocals, crunching guitars and a bunch of angst chucked into mix. Dalle's guttural, angst-drenched vocals are a mixture of razor sharp at the core & velvet on top, ripping right through you to your heart.Having had a baby in 2005 & finding love may have softened Brody, the vocals are far less abrasive & aggressive than her previous band The Distillers, her time in the band peppered with her volitile relationship & break up with Tim Armstrong. but still a good kick-arse rock album. She roars like a banshee, yet seems fragile underndeath.
This CD is best listened to while boxing/running/lifting weights. Perfect gym music! All Babes are Wolves (of course) and Ghetto Love are faves.
On the softer side, Impaler is a lovely, catchy little song she wrote with husband, Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme.
