IDEAL WOMAN

One of the most eagerly anticipated albums in years, Skinny Girl Diet's follow up album "Ideal Woman" is already getting regular play on BBC Radio 6 (by Iggy Pop, no less) and the London band's been featured in just about every music blog/magazine you can imagine. The band won't even be old enough to drink during their upcoming US tour, and yet Delilah Holiday & Ursula Holiday have been doing this for almost eight years now.. SGD is raw, bleeding, and beautiful, a perfect convergence of Angela Carter and Angela Davis and The Powerpuff Girls. Inspired by punk and grunge and being alive & awake in the 21st century, their sophomore album--self-released in the UK so they can control the product, released in the US on HHBTM Records b/c it's the only label you can trust--is as cathartic & angry & moving as anything we've heard in a long time.
