Night Music: Dum Dum Girls, “Jail La La”

More distaff singers (and drummers and guitarists, too). I got into this album, the band’s first, when it came out a few years ago. It’s fairly low-fi, and adopts a variety of rock and pop styles, all in a handmade approach I find pretty irresistible. (I just learned that the album was produced by Richard Gottehrer, who not only produced the first Blondie album, but as a younger man wrote such hits as “My Boyfriend’s Back,” “I Want Candy,” and “Hang on Sloopy!” He also was co-founder of Sire Records.)
