The Secret Life
Kill Rock Stars
INDIE
Since their first band practice in March 2006, the three ladies who make up the New Bloods have dropped jaws and touched off unruly, spontaneous dance moves. Now with ‘The Secret Life’, they’ve shone a new light that won’t be put out.
It’s punk—lean, engaging, minimalist punk songs topping out before the three minute mark. There’s some Raincoats vibe, a little Intima, a touch of ESG and Unwound, but with dub, soul, and afro-beat influences.
Adee Roberson’s ominous new wave/tribal drums, Osa Atoe’s sky-rising violin, and Cassia Gammill deepshifting bass, turn songs like “Day After Day,” “Oh, Deadly Nightshade!” and the propulsive title-track into hard-packed anthems of empowerment and intense personal experience. The track “Fast Asleep” added to FBI 3/4/08.
