Dressy Bessy threw a little rock & roll into
their recipe for candy-coated sugar pop this year. Each of these eleven songs is an upbeat
lick toward the center of Last-Splash-Breeder-esque pop, from the first song to the last.
The lyrics range from the light sing-a-long lyrics prevalent throughout to more contemplative like those from "Hey May,"
"what are you going to do when the world turns in on you? Hey check it out, think of me
once in a while," to more serious like those found in "This May Hurt (A Little)" about "a dear friend," "I don’t miss much of Josey much of the time, though I
know she’s feeling helpless most of the time." But you won't hear any pouting or whining from this Indie band, all songs are delivered with a hip smile.
This
album is more mature, more catchy, and more edgy than their previous two. It is full of great hooks and tunes, and just pure pop that should liven any
mood and shouldn't be missed.
