Release Notes:

Today’s music reverberates the world’s music from the past to varying degrees of
success. Whether deliberate or not, (not all music from today, although blindly
influenced, is pointed to a specific period), it attempts to latch onto the taste
buds of our preferences in the hopes that we will buy into the ‘in’ sound. It’s
even better if they can set the standard for that new ‘in’ sound, not a difficult
thing to do given our unending quest for the next great style.

The Lashes is a melodic, post-punk, alternative style that hint of late ‘70s new
wave. The opening track, "New Best Friend," an immediate single choice, revs wave
the engine of The Lashes with an energetic song that will have you interested
right out of the gate without a need to let the album run though before decision.
The good stuff continues with "Daddy’s Little Girl," which, interestingly will
bring to mind a bit of Elvis Costello in a very strange way (also check out "A
Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody" for the same deja vu). Perhaps it’s the similar
style employed by the bands in the ‘70s new wave period, however, suffice it to
say that if The Lashes were to have emerged in that period, they would have been
one of those classic radio bands that we all remember over the years.

The Lashes are here and now and have validity in this era of new "new wave"
music. With the enjoyable work of Interpol, Bloc Party, and others that
artistically plunder the gold mine of past sounds, The Lashes are as legitimate
as those previously mentioned and can grasp the potential love of a much wider
audience that include those that miss the old days and that younger audience
that embraces the new mix of old culture in an updated styling.
