Dirty Mind

Touring mates and neighbours of The Go! Team, the Pipettes had been flitting from one small indie label to another, before finding a home with the Team at Memphis. It also marks their move away from the slight air of novelty to proper pop band, much in the manner of The Chalets’s recent transformation. Indeed the two bands share something of a musical template, especially in the classic girl-group vocals. ‘Dirty Mind’ is good yet b-side ‘Because It’s Not Love’ is better and wouldn’t sound out of place on the Grease soundtrack. Yes, that is a complement.

Recently seen alongside Jeremy Paxman on Newsnight, The Pipettes are becoming increasingly hard to escape. To be honest, why would you want to? This is more of the same from the trio (‘60s girl group pop with a modern day attitude) but their album is one of the year’s best and I for one can’t get enough of them.

Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me

How much do we love the Pipettes? Let us count the ways. A ‘60s girl group for the riot grrrrl generation, they make disposable pop music that is built to last, and do it in matching polka dot dresses. ‘Your Kisses...’ is absolutely fantastic, and comes from an album that will most probably guarantees them media darling status and makes them your new favourite band. Love it, love it, love it.
