Look at Life Again Soon

VINYL FORMAT. Look at Life Again Soon is the follow-up to 2006's Shake the Dust and, like that album, is produced by White Stripes/Billy Childish pal Liam Watson at the famed Toerag Studios in London. Expect a Phil Spector worthy wall of sound spiked by more fuzz than a barrelful of Nuggets bands, a fat bottom end that'd make R. Crumb weep with delight, and enough tuff-gal swagger (from singer/guitarist Coco Hames, natch) to make you dive for your vintage Nancy Sinatra, Shangri-La's and Runaways LPs. One moment the Ettes are channeling a distaff vision of the Cramps; the next, they're mud-wrasslin' with the Stones and Pretty Things (guess who wins), and the next they're making with a Ramones-worthy blitzkrieg bop to beat the band.
