Too True
The 10 track album was produced by Richard Gottehrer (Blondie, The Go-Go’s, Richard Hell) and Sune Rose Wagner(The Raveonettes) and features the singles “Lost Boys And Girls Club,” “Are You Okay,” and “Rimbaud Eyes”.
Lead singer Dee Dee reflects on the writing process of ‘Too True’;“ In the summer of 2012, I locked out the world and sat down in my apartment to write a new record — clear view of the New York City sky through iron bars like a promise.
“I was waiting with bated breath to let the muse loose. I sang into my own private microphone, in my tiny bedroom studio, with no one save my make-believe coconspirators to hear me.”
Too True will be released 31st January 2014 on Sub Pop through Inertia
