Spinnerette - Ghetto Love EP cover art

Spinnerette have released the Ghetto Love EP for digital download (yay!).  It costs $5 and features four tracks that will be on the yet-to-be-released album Valium Knights:

1. Bury My Heart
2. Distorting A Code
3. Valium Knights
4. Ghetto Love

My favourites are Valium Knights and Ghetto Love, though the other two tracks are good too.

Here's the excellent music video for Ghetto Love:

EDIT: I've already started getting hits for people searching for download links for Valium Knights and Ghetto Love.  Just buy it you cheap pirates - it doesn't cost that much and if you're really a fan then you'll want to support the band, right?  The announcement email even contained a plea from the band:

Please note that we are putting this out ourselves and that downloading for free, "stealing" will mean that we might not tour as far and wide as we'd like to, due to a lack of funds...and also Santa will steal your Mom away and make her a gift wrapping slave. But seriously think about it and think about doing good and lovely things for each other, after all these are the best gifts of all. We hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed making it.

I've been a longtime fan of The Distillers, and I've always been disappointed that they broke up after only one album (I don't count the first two albums as they sound completely different).  Coral Fang is one of my favorite albums (disturbing album art notwithstanding) and is one of the few albums where I love all (but one) of the songs on it.

Fortunately it turns out that the Distillers' lead singer Brody Dalle has started a new band with similar sounding music - Spinnerette.

The title song from their upcoming album Valium Knights is available as an mp3 download if you sign up for the newsletter on their website.

If the rest of the album is as good as this song I just might have another favorite album - can't wait.
