On their debut as Deap Vally, Lindsey Troy and Julie Edwards deliver a delicious confection of rock ‘n’ roll, sex and volume.
Full of ragged, primitive, and stomping hard rock rhythms, distorted and greasy blues riffs, and shouted, shrieking vocals, the San Fernando duo Deap Vally, made up of guitarist and vocalist Lindsey Troy and drummer Julie Edwards, sound like the White Stripes or the Black Keys made over from the female side of things, with a sound that hits the same crunchy, thumping, swampy groove and looseness.
It always seemed to me that New York has the literal and metaphorical edge over California when it comes to music.
LA duo Deap Vally's Led Zep/White Stripes shtick ranges from downright awful to pleasingly furious, writes <strong>Maddy Costa</strong>
No need for musical boundary pushing on Californian duo's astonishing debut. CD review by Lisa-Marie Ferla
