Our Take

Kristin Kontrol, the alter ego of former Dum Dum Girls frontwoman Dee Dee Penny, delivers a slick and synth-heavy debut album with "X-Communicate." The record sees Kontrol shedding her previous garage rock image in favor of a more polished sound, drawing inspiration from 80s pop icons such as Madonna and Cyndi Lauper.

From the opening track "Show Me," it's clear that Kontrol is unafraid to embrace her pop sensibilities, with catchy hooks and infectious melodies that will have you dancing in your bedroom mirror. The standout track "Skin Shed" showcases Kontrol's powerful vocals, effortlessly gliding over a pulsating beat that will transport you back to the neon-soaked dance floors of yesteryear.

While some may lament the departure from the gritty rock sound of Dum Dum Girls, "X-Communicate" is a bold and refreshing new direction for Kontrol. Tracks like "White Street" and "Hollow" demonstrate her ability to craft shimmering pop anthems that are both nostalgic and contemporary, blending elements of synthpop, new wave, and indie pop with ease.

Overall, Kristin Kontrol's "X-Communicate" is a delightful pop gem that will appeal to fans of 80s-inspired synthpop and anyone looking for a fun and uplifting musical escape. With its infectious hooks and glossy production, this album is sure to have you singing along and tapping your feet in no time. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to X-communicate with Kristin Kontrol.
