L.A. power-pop outfit The Regrettes have announced their highly-anticipated sophomore album, How Do You Love?, set for release on August 9 via Warner Records. The infectious, guitar-driven first single, “I Dare You” is out today, along with an official video. Listen to the new track and pre-order the forthcoming 15-track album here now, as well as at the band’s official store here. To coincide with the forthcoming release, The Regrettes have confirmed North American summer and fall headline tours, with the just-announced fall dates for “The How Do You Love Tour” on sale this Friday, June 21 at 10am local time. A full list of dates is below.
Don’t be fooled, The Regrettes aren’t putting out a Bo Diddley tribute album! Switch a single letter around and you could easily picture some sort of blend between the latter’s rockabilly swing and the L.A four-piece’s sassy indie rock. Though in the case of this second studio album, the question isn’t Who Do You Love? but How? To answer that question, Lydia Night (vocals, guitar), Genessa Gariano (guitar, BV), Sage Nicole (bass, BV) are the core of a teenage girl band, along with Maxx Morando’s drumming. Producing them a second time round, Mike Elizondo; do note that Julian Casablancas (The Strokes) is credited on I Dare You as a songwriter. His presence is felt elsewhere as well, on Here You Go and the eponymous How Do You Love, the closing track. Musically, this feels like a 60s pop record, blended with pop-punk-garage choruses on steroids. Coloring Book is a prime example: its Beach Boys-ish chord progression leads to a breaking point where Night channels Joan Jett – angry and self-assured, she demonstrates perfect control over her own nonchalant, teenage attitude (she’s only 18!), seldom crossing the line into sounding unsympathetic. Much like its creators, How Do You Love is brimming with the energy of youth – it’s catchy, endearing and fresh. © Alexis Renaudat
