Album Notes The passing of four years and a different name should be enough clues that Spinnerette is a far cry from Brody Dalle's previous band the Distillers, but the extent of just how different SPINNERETTE is still might shock longtime fans. The Distillers' swan song CORAL FANG was polished compared to melees like SING SING DEATH HOUSE, but Spinnerette's state-of-the-art California trash-pop is buffed to such a high shine that it almost feels subversive compared to Dalle's previous piss and vinegar. These songs are unapologetically slick and hooky, with more in common with bandmate Alain Johannes's other project, Queens of the Stone Age, than Dalle and Tony Bevilacqua's Distillers roots. That's not the only influence on SPINNERETTE, though: "Ghetto Love" recalls the Kills' sleekly deconstructed rock, while "Geeking" nods to Joan Jett's sass. At the group's best, Spinnerette shows what Dalle can do outside of the Distillers' context, and suggests that maturity and life after punk rock can actually be fun.
Editorial Reviews 4.5 stars out of 5 -- Dalle's dynamic voice is paramount, driving songs from gentle pop to head-smashing aggression. Alternative Press
