We here at Ice Cream Man have been big fans of The Pipettes since SXSW in 2007. They had some sugary sweet pop tunes and gimmicky polka dot outfits that put their adorableness at the forefront.
Now, over three years later, they’ve returned with a new album and a completely new look. Former singers Rose Elinor Dougall and RiotBecki and drummer Joe Lean left the band to pursue solo projects so mainstay Gwenno Saunders enlisted her sister Ani and added Alex White on drums to form a new, polka dot-less version of the band with more emphasis on the band part and a seeming slight move musically from the ’60s to the ’70s.
You can listen to a few songs from their upcoming album at their Myspace page.
