New album "Only in Dreams" by the Dum Dum Girls is out on Sub Pop records. The quick summary? Doo-wop with fuzz guitars. Worthwhile.  Check it out.

Dum Dum Girls - Only in Dreams by subpop

Choice bits include the driving Always Looking (whose grungish main strain is followed by some even more retro stylings); the garage-fuzz-meets-50s Bedroom Eyes; the snappy, poppy In My Head; Heartbeat with its doowopish verse; Wasting Away; and the slow guitar anthem Comin' Down (with a sound, and chord changes, reminiscent of Knocking on Heaven's Door).  But really, it's all pretty choice.
