On their forthcoming album, SWEETHEART OF THE SUN, THE BANGLES
capture the two crucial elements that created the bond that formed
the group: their common love for rock's golden age and the crystalline
sound they quite naturally created.
SWEETHEART OF THE SUN (Model Music Group), the group's first
album of new material in nearly eight years, is filled with a fresh
batch of definitive BANGLES songs. SWEETHEART OF THE SUN
reveals THE BANGLES--guitarist/singer Susanna Hoffs, guitarist/singer
Vicki Peterson and drummer/singer Debbi Peterson--at their equally
beguiling extremes, as soaring folk-rock harmonies coexist with
adrenalized rave-ups inspired by the band's roots in Nuggets-era
garage rock.
Some of the 10 original songs on this 12-song album are new, while
others had extremely long gestation periods, tucked away, but not
forgotten, as Susanna puts it. The oldest, dating back to the early
'90s, is Debbi's high-revving aggro kiss-off "Ball N Chain";
while the three of them jointly came up with the newest song, the
shimmering opening track "Anna Lee (Sweetheart of the Sun),"
during the recording sessions.
