Download: Dum Dum Girls, ‘Bedroom Eyes’

Dum Dum Girls release yet another promising track from their forthcoming album “Only In Dreams,” due Sept. 27 via Sub Pop.  Progressing from their simple, jangly and heavily reverbed tunes from the previous album, “Bedroom Eyes” is another mighty stride towards more of a power-pop sound that showcases strong vocals from frontwoman Kristin Gundred, aka Dee Dee. Trading in ditties about who gets them high, Dum Dum Girls seem to be finding resources with more substance on the new record. Whereas “Coming Down” was therapy for losing a loved one, “Bedroom Eyes” was inspired by a poem from Dante Gabriel Rossetti which focuses on “love within the context of insomnia and separation.” Heavier stuff, to be sure, and the weight is working in their favor.
