Sleep Talk

Shannon And The Clams, “Sleep Talk” (1-2-3-4-60!, 2011)
Garage-rock with pronounced girl-group echoes. The thing is, Shannon can really sing, in a thick, warm, smoky voice which, along with the sharp, well-articulated songwriting, gives this that elusive sense of being Classic, not just Retro. The contrast with the raw, grainy musicianship only accentuates this, giving it all the hazy feel of someone else’s blurring memory.
