In 2006 Gwenno, Rose and Rebecca released, in my opinion, one of the best pop records of all time in the form of "We Are The Pipettes". Full of songs about lost love, awkward sex and girls we could only dream of speaking to. It was reminiscent of all of our teenage years and as carefully crafted as their polka dot dresses and dance routines.
So after four years without any new material this year sees them return with "Earth vs The Pipettes". The word 'return' has to be used rather lightly as the bands members have changed more than the Sugababes with Rebecca and Rose being replaced with Gwenno's sister Ani as well as two of the bands musicians leaving to join The Ghost Frequency and Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong respectively.
The sound itself however, remains the same with tunes that sound like Cheryl Cole (or should I say Tweedy) having a fight with a synthensiser on the beach in Rio. Here's the new single "Stop The Music" due for release in April with the album to follow shortly.
And for all of those who have got on to the same nostalgic kick as myself, here's the classic "Judy"
