BRIX SMITH – Valley Of The Dolls – LP – Clear Vinyl

LP – Indies Exclusive Limited Edition Clear Vinyl.

The inimitable post-punk icon Brix Smith is held in high regard for her work with The Fall, The Adult Net and The Extricated, but even after four decades in the game shes still embracing new musical horizons with characteristic intensity. This is her debut solo album. Produced by the Grammy Award winning Youth (The Verve, Jesus and Mary Chain, Killing Joke), Brixs seemingly effortlessly cool vocals top a mix of power-pop addictiveness, ragged garage-rock riffs and classic grunge melody. Given its explosive energy. The album was started during lockdown, with Brix and Youth collaborating remotely between her home in London and his base in Spain. She has described the album as sounding like a cross between The Breeders and Hole with an atmosphere thats very dystopian California. It features special guests including Susanna Hoffs from The Bangles and Siobhan Fahey of Bananarama and Shakespear’s Sister.
