The Courettes' third album Back In
Mono is a milestone in their career so far. “Spit
´n´snarl garage rumble-meets-Phil Spector pop” showcasing the
band in top form – great songwriting skills, Spector-esque arrangements,
with broader nuances, influences and production qualities added to their garage
rock recipe.
Fourteen Wagnerian teen-trash-tragedy masterpieces
– it’s as if The Ronettes and The Ramones were invited to a wild
party in Gold Star Studios’ echo chamber. Fuzz guitars, loud drums, trashy
pianos, jingle bells, tambourines and three-minute dance floor garage killers
where a Wall of Sound blasts the songs out of the speakers!
Produced and recorded by Søren Christensen
at Starr Sound Recording Studios in Denmark and mixed by top producer/wall of
sound aficionado Seiki Sato in Japan.
The Courettes - The Soul Of... The
Fabulous Courettes (ORANGE VINYL
LP)
From the glorious opening beats and stabbing fuzz
honks of ‘You Woo Me’ to the closing emotional tugs of ‘For
Your Love’ via ‘SHAKE!’’s fuzzed-up urgency and
‘California’’s celebratory warmth, The Courettes have
broadened their sound with an increased musical instrumentation and overall
sophistication that’s evident in both their sound and songwriting. And
crucially, they’ve achieved this without sacrificing any of the
rock’n’roll grit that’s been scraped from Flavia’s
guitar strings and Martin’s battered and pummelled drums. And aiding them
in their quest for sonic perfection are a few guest musicians and back-room
wizards playing some very specific roles.
