Today I picked up the debut album from Brody Dalle's latest project/band, Spinnerette. So far I'm midway through my third listen and I am uber impressed so far. I really dug her work with The Distillers and was lucky enough to see them live a few years ago. With Spinnerette, Dalle lays to rest any lingering comparisons to Courtney Love. Well, at least musically. I mean, she DID marry Tim Armstrong and now Josh Homme. But I digress. Apparently Dalle wrote most of the album on bass and it certainly shows. Fuzzed out bass dominates the album, along with some electronic flourishes and crunching guitars. Her trademark raspy vocal delivery is replaced for the most part with a slightly softer and more melodic approach. And it works. Spinnerette is basically a sexier, more fun version of The Distillers. Key tracks are first single "Ghetto Love," "Geeking," and "All Babes Are Wolves." And no... "Sex Bomb" is not a Tom Jones cover.
