New Music From The Dandy Warhols
Everyone's favorite blowhards, The Dandy Warhols, have returned with their latest self-released album.
The Dandy Warhols are a band you either love or hate. There doesn't really seem to be a gray area with this Portland group. The double-edged sword of junkie rocumentary Dig! exposed them to a larger audience, but at the same showed the world that Courtney Taylor-Taylor really is the jagoff he seems to be. It's all an act though. The Dandy’s have always been way too over analyzed. Doesn't anyone get the joke? They're just a bunch of self-congratulatory foppish stoners hell bent on rocking out. Marie Antoinette's house band if you will.
ETTDW has all the elements you've come to expect. Whacked out country bangers, slick disco and the signature "best listened to when high" tracks they perfected on 13 Tales From Urban Bohemia. "Talk Radio" is the sure-fire stand out track and a great way too just space out for five minutes. And Love and Rockets, if you're reading this, where's the lawsuit?
Courtney, you'll never be as cool as Kim Deal, but you make great records to throw on in the background at parties.
