Kristin Kontrol – aka Dee Dee, leader of internationally acclaimed rock outfit Dum Dum Girls – released a new song today. “Show Me,” with all its synth-sax flourishes and minimal groove, premiered on i-D HERE.
The track, produced by Kurt Feldman with Danny Meyer on saxophone, comes off her debut album, X-Communicate, out May 27th on Sub Pop Records.
Pre-order the album on iTunes HERE and instantly receive the title track “X-Communicate” as an instant grat.
“Show Me” follows the release of the album’s title track “X-Communicate,” of which Cosmopolitan said “her voice…remains as smoldering as it’s always been,” and Pitchfork noted “the springy cushion of bass arpeggios, synth pads, and ringing guitars smartly borrows from Hi-NRG acts like Evelyn Thomas and Bananarama as well as sleek, wavy brooders like New Order and Pet Shop Boys. But the results are far too opulent to scan as merely retro. If “X-Communicate” were a look on “Project Runway,” it’d find Nina Garcia gushing about how expensive it sounds.”
