Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Quick! Somebody give Smash Hits CPR! Were the legendary pop-mag relic still going The Pipettes would surely be the subject of the double-page pull-out souvenir lyric poster special every other issue, a fresh pose a fortnight. And had Top Of The Pops not been sabotaged and sent spinning towards the precipice leaking brake fluid, the candy-floss Brighton trio with a mean kick could easily have been the house band--all the polka dots you could dream of, week in, week out. The Pipettes understand what it is you love about pop music, see. "Dance with me, it will be alright". And the fact that falling in and out of love probably has a little something to do with it. "It’s not love… but it’s still a feeling".

After a promising run of singles comes an album dense with sparkle, packed only with potential number ones in any reality that makes sense. It's a glorious scissors 'n' magazine cut 'n' paste collage fantasy of karaoke in Camden bars, '60s girl-groups haircuts, giddy harmonies, string licks like diamond encrusted accessories and passport pictures of past conquests. "Judy" is a witty bittersweet tale of teen identity, like Kenicke with their bootstraps pulled tight by the Shangri-Las, "Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me" is the Go Team trimmed by Phil Spector, and "One Night Stand" is an inverse "I Will Survive", brandishing an unbranded packet of old-fashioned girl power, the other party the victim. Any signs of life from Smash Hits yet? No? Shame, this should have wiped the floor at the Poll Winners' Party. --James Berry



CD Description

Debut album from Phil Spector-obsessed all-girl indie-pop trio who, like the Concretes and the Raveonettes, combine thesugary, harmony-laden sounds of 60s girl groups with the raw, lo-fi influence of 80s and 90s indie. The result is a short, sharp set of catchy, summery pop which has received acclaim from critics and fans alike. Contains the singles 'DirtyMind', 'Pull Shapes' and 'Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me'.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Pipettes, 20 Jul 2006
By Harry Carr "carrliadiere" (Teddington) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Easy, very listenable pop tunes with the glossy veneer of retro-chic glamour. 'We Are The Pipettes' lasts just over 30 minutes from start to finish, and is a delight for the duration.

It's great to know that The Pipettes are just as cheery and dancy in person, too: their recent album release saw a live performance and signing at HMV Oxford Street, and the relentless energy and vigour of the girls (coupled with the Weezer-esque cool of The Cassettes) shoved home the fact that this is much, much more than a half-hearted attempt at a new take on retro pop. The Pipettes are about slightly eccentric, perfectly honed pop. Nothing more, nothing less. And they do it brilliantly.

There's certainly nothing here to enrage anybody. While the album might be lacking the killer punch which makes it a classic, the 14 tracks are more than enough to confirm The Pipettes as accomplished pop artists, and I hope there's much more to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Take us, take us to your planet..., 20 Jul 2006
By J. K. Burt "cheekyron" (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
From the opening bars to the final track I was hooked. Polka Dotted Princesses' from my home town of Brighton. Adorable harmonies especially on 'Your kisses are wasted on me' that will have you all jigging and tapping from behind the wheel of your car or positioned in from of the kitchen sink. Never a bad time to play this album. Is it retro, is it something new? I dunno, I guess you should just buy it and decide for yourself...

4.0 out of 5 stars Girl Jangly Pop at its best., 19 Jul 2006
Listen to it once and you will wish it was on repeat. At 33 minutes long the album gives no time for the listener to get bored, but to just enjoy some melodic girl jangling pop at its best.

Pull Shapes should be an anthemn for not only this summer but any summer, autumn, winter, spring to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Today they debunk John Lennon; tomorrow they take over the world of pop ... or at least, they deserve to.
"Pull Shapes" seized me by the earholes when first I heard it on the radio a few weeks ago. And it wouldn't let go. So who were these Pipette folks, anyway? I had to know. Read more
