Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head

| 8 comments |

That is hands down one of the best band names I’ve ever heard. A pop culture reference that fits the band’s exuberance so well. While CSS spin off in a 90s rock retread and therefore shedding what made them fun in the first place, these Seattle teenagers are ready and waiting for the electro-pop crown. Some of you will run from these puerile, neon-clad hipster youth and their silly songs and so be it. But after listening to hours of gloomy indie music in my emails, I’m glad this band of teenagers exist. I hope these guys are massive in a year.

Their debut album Glistening Pleasure is out and about now in the US. Song titles include ‘Me + Yr Daughter’, ‘Slow Motion Tag Team’, ‘Holding Hands in the Shower’, the best song about newly-spruced beards ever ‘Beard Lust’ and the above 90 second sugar and colour rush of ‘Sophisticated Side Ponytail’. Bonus Natalie Portman pic after the jump.

    Does this mean the Ting Tings aren’t the future of rock ‘n’ roll anymore?

    Checking out the tunes on their MySpace page and it’s brightening up this pissy day in Dublin to no end.

    Much as I love bright colors and chirpy songs, I must jump aboard the ‘running from the puerile, neon-clad hipster youth and their silly songs’ brigade.

    It’s too much! Too much, I tells ya!
