Courettes - The Soul Of...The Fabulous Courettes - [CD]

A rock'n'roll sensation from the word go, Danish-Brazilian The Courettes are back with their fourth and best album to date - The Soul Of... The Fabulous Courettes. And this time, they're bigger, wider and deeper than ever before as they add more to the blistering ramalama that's seen them cause pandemonium across the venues, festivals and airwaves of the UK, Europe, USA and Japan. Hitting the sweet spot that straddles garage rock, girl groups, doo-wop harmonies, heartache and all points in between, here The Courettes build on the momentum of predecessor 'Back In Mono' with a collection of songs that opens up their sonic scope while confronting dark, emotional matter to reveal 'The Soul Of The Fabulous Courettes'. We didn't want to do Back In Mono 2', stresses drummer Martin Couri. We always try to put ourselves into a zone of discomfort, which I think is where exciting things happen rather than just doing the same thing over again, agrees singer, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Flavia Couri. I mean, I know some bands can do that but we don't see ourselves making the same album for the next 20 years. We thought 'Back In Mono' was our best album until this one! She's not wrong. Having evolved with each album release, The Soul Of... The Fabulous Courettes draws inspiration from many of the duo's numerous idols that have only previously been hinted at. We wanted to show our love of the Spector Wall Of Sound and Motown, reveals Flavia. It was a clear mission and we've absolutely nailed it.
