Album Review
On the six-song Bitter Club, England's Pipas unveil a half-dozen refreshing songs. The group continues to impress through sheer simplicity and wonderfully light musings. The opening "Mental" showcase the duo's infectious indie pop sensibilities, along with their drum machine-based backdrop. Their simple sound is their strength, and Lupe leads the way with her gentle whispering over gentle beats. The title track is next, with Mark taking over on vocals on a track wrought with painful sincerity. The disc is brief, filled out with no-nonsense songwriting and storytelling, like the brief and focused "Sixten," and the light and airy "Jean C." The disc ends with the layered electronics of "South," originally found on the Golden Square album, remixed and given new life on Bitter Club. California's Matinee Recordings released the disc in 2004, whetting fans appetites for a new full-length from the indie pop legends-in-the-making.

This album is so perfect! Each song is different from the other. I heard this album first, and I was kind of disappointed because I think this album sounds like the Motifs but the rest of their stuff doesn't really. But it doesn't make this album any worse because it's still perfect and lovely I promise. If you like cutesy indie pop I guess. I do. But uh... yep. If you like this album and you want to hear more like it then look for the Motifs they're perfect too. Cute cute cute :)
pretty voice and pretty sounds=:-)
