Dress Forms - Annette's Got The Hits

  Yep, it's a cover of the classic song released on their self titled ep in 1981 by Red Cross. It's by Portland, Oregon synth punks Dress Forms and it's taken from their recent mini lp (maxi ep?) Display. You can check it out on the Kennel Jitters Recordings Bandcamp page :   https://bestsupportingactress.bandcamp.com/album/display

  Dress Forms are a 3 piece; Jenny L (synth/vocals), Izzy D (synth) and Jacyn P (drums/vocals/synth). As you may have noticed, that's a lot of synths. Add the off kilter vocals and the playful song arrangements you get a release that's both brief and fun. As well as the Red Cross cover, there's also a reimagining of Swell Maps' Blam! The other 5 songs are originals.

  So, song of the day. I played this on last Sunday's Just Some Punk Songs show and I think it's fair to say the chatroom was a little divided in their opinion of it. Feedback was mostly positive though and if it's not your cup of tea it only lasts around a minute so you've nothing to lose by clicking play. This is Annette's Got The Hits....
