Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Slumber Party's self-titled debut is pop nirvana. Four girls from Detroit sound like a cross between the echo-saturated Velvet Underground-influenced guitar sound of naïve art rockers Galaxie 500 and the bittersweet purity of Scotland's Mary Chain-turned-girl group the Shop Assistants. Every song here is a minor gem, a sweet saddened lament to the folly of youth and love and everything that happens in between. All four members contribute harmonies. "Things are not as bad as they seem," Aliccia Berg croons more in hope than belief on the torpid "Strawberry Sunday" before the fuzz-laden guitar kicks in for another few seconds. "Why Do I Care?" she laments later, voice laden down with the passion of youth. This is Psychocandy made pure, if only Jim Reid had been possessed of romance in his soul. This is simply the sweetest, finest pop album you'll hear for many a long lonely year. Think Shangri-La's, Francoise Hardy, Shaggs, Shop Assistants, Slumber Party. --Everett True

5.0 out of 5 stars Moody guitar gals, bitter sweet vocals with sugar sprinkles, 22 Oct 2001
If your idea of heaven is the Velvet Underground having been hijacked by Strawberry Switchblade, then this is for you. Taking inspiration from early Dandy Warhols (imagine the squealing guitars of "Ride" throbbing in and out of tightly woven yet dreamy melodies) and adding in a pinch of Hope Sandoval inspired melancholia, you will be served up a feast of swirling guitars, sweet harmonies and a retrospective glance towards Nico, the House of Love and all those shoe-gazing ladies of the late 80s, with their mournful mockeries of life, romance, art and smudged eyeliner. I played it four times running, and then again the next morning. Absolutely sublime, dark, charming... I wish I was in Detroit in a torn vintage lace dress, guitar case in hand, broken heart on my sleeve. These gals are the manic depressive cousins of Tallulah Gosh, and they are gloriously gloomy. Buy it.... if you hate it, you have no soul.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love it, 31 Aug 2002
This is far better than it should be. Maybe a little backward looking, it would not have sounded out of place in Creations 1988 catalogue, but still a fine piece of work. The atmospheric, sloppy arrangements, seem to bring out the top dollar songwriting, and nice harmonies. A real unexpected treat

4.0 out of 5 stars Chilled, 8 Feb 2002
By A Customer
Cross Stereolab (if you've heard of them) with the velvet underground. You have Slumberparty. Quite simple. It is beautiful, unchallenging and chilled. Highly reccommended.
