Our Take
Our Take
In the wild and wacky world of power pop, there are few bands as revered as The dB's. Their latest compilation, "I Thought You Wanted to Know 1978-1981", serves as a delightful time capsule of their early years, showcasing the band's infectious melodies and quirky charm.
From the jangly guitars of "Black and White" to the bittersweet harmonies of "I'm in Love", each track on this collection is a testament to The dB's knack for crafting catchy tunes with a dose of lyrical wit. The band's blend of jangle-pop and new wave influences is on full display here, with songs like "Dynamite" and "Bad Reputation" exuding a playful energy that is impossible to resist.
But what truly sets The dB's apart is their willingness to experiment and push boundaries. Tracks like "Living a Lie" and "We Were Happy There" showcase a musical sophistication that belies their power pop roots, creating a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly original.
So if you're in the mood for some toe-tapping tunes with a side of lyrical quirkiness, look no further than The dB's "I Thought You Wanted to Know 1978-1981". This compilation is a reminder of why this band has remained a beloved cult favourite in the world of indie pop. Cheers to The dB's for reminding us all that sometimes, you just need a good ol' dose of unadulterated fun in your music collection.
