Description:
PRETTY GIRLS MAKE GRAVES formed in Seattle in 2001, fused together from the still glowing embers of nearly a dozen important groups, including DEATH WISH KIDS, AREA 51, BEE HIVE VAULTS, KILL SADIE, SHARKS KEEP MOVING and MURDER CITY DEVILS.

On last year's debut, Pretty Girls Make Graves asked, "Do you remember when the music meant something?" Now, with their bigger, brighter follow up 'The New Romance', Pretty Girls Make Graves are through with questions they're here to remind you themselves.

Brilliantly produced by PHIL EK (MODEST MOUSE, BUILT TO SPILL), 'The New Romance' magnifies Pretty Girls Make Graves' songcraft and technical prowess while letting some air into their songs and keeping things in crisp focus.

Every song on 'The New Romance' is an anthem, yet without traditional verses and choruses. Tension builds and shifts without conventional release, as moments of glassy beauty and rousing aggression trade sides. Dissonant, spiralling guitar parts butt up against handclaps and singalongs. Deep and creepy rhythms undermine pop sensibilities, then give way to swaggering beats moments later.

This album is the sound of one incredibly confident band capable of almost anything.

As CMJ wrote, "the notion that hard rock should be not only intellectually stimulating and structurally imaginative, but just plain f*cking enjoyable, doubles as their theme and M.O."
