"We Are the Pipettes" by The Pipettes

The Pipettes' debut album, We Are the Pipettes, was originally released in the United Kingdom back in the middle of 2006, resulting in a tidal wave of hype that carried over to American shores. The band, known for its stylish update of classic girl-group pop and its trio of adorable singers in polka dot frocks, garnered copious internet buzz, and the record became a hot item in import bins. It's tempting to suggest that a proper release of the album has come far too late in the United States, and that the Pipettes' momentum is already on the wane, but that assumption would have to be based on the insulting notion that the group's appeal is strictly limited to net-savvy hipsters. Not so! Every track on We Are the Pipettes gleams and sparkles with crisp string arrangements, groovy beats, slick harmonies and meticulously crafted melodies that appreciate with each listen, leaving tracks like "Pull Shapes," "ABC," and "One Night Stand" feeling like familiar
