What band could pull off an album with this stupid name and a really corny intergalactic "concept", complete with airline steward voice-overs and swooshing flight sound effects?
Not so surprisingly, the Dandies can. There's something about The Dandy Warhols' self-effacing nature, sense of humor and lack of affectation you just have to love. Earth To The Dandy Warhols is a return to form, bringing back all the dirgey space rock and alt-pop they did so well early on, and also incorporating the Bowiesque funk of the last two releases (without the synthesisers, thankfully).
It's a good variety and a solid album. And its indie rock that doesn't take itself too seriously - which we could all use a good dose of now and again...
