Agent Ribbons: music review

Attitude, dark humor and fantastic lyrics. [“I dog-eared you because we were on the same page,” from title track “Let Them Talk.”] Feminist. Shouldn’t we all be? Of course. Are people afraid to embrace it and write fabulouso songs? Absolutely. Guitarist/vocalist Natalie Ribbons and drummer/ vocalist Lauren Ribbons blend lovely 60s-style Brill building harmonizing with funky, ingenious melodies and beats. Are you listening yet?

my picks:

“Let Them Talk”

“Fucked Up”—“Somebody give me a programmed heartbeat/ and you could change me . . . you could make whoever you want me to be/ punch in and punch out until I make you happy/ . . ./ sometimes we fuck it up just it a little bit but we’re all fucked up anyway”
