Attagirl

“Attagirl” heralds Bettie Seveert’s debut on Minty Fresh as well as the band’s triumphant return with their most captivating full-length since “Palomine”. Chock full of the most memorable songs in this much-lauded band’s career, Carol van Dyk’s beguiling vocals are front and center over her thick multi-tracked harmonies. Meanwhile, hooky synth-loops and popping rhythmic grooves propel the music forward, woven together with Peter Visser’s inventive yet sturdy guitar work. An outstanding pop record for 2005, featuring two bonus acoustic versions of album tracks.
