I’m talking about the Waifs. More specifically, I’m talking about their latest release, sundirtwater, which was put out on Jarrah records.

The album jump’s everywhere. It starts with a country-twang version of the Noisettes’ rock sound (in “Pony”), moves to a Sarah Vaughn’s “Fever” sexual, slinky filled track (in “sundirtwater”, and then a straight up pop-country Reba song with “How Many Miles”. It even goes into a “Big Yellow Tax” (Joni Mitchell) sound with “Get Me Some”. And it continues to switch up genres.

Let’s make this clear: I am not complaining. It works. In fact, I would not have it any other way. I don’t think I’d like a Waifs’ album filled with a single genre. They switch it up with a country twang mixed with a variety of genres. I’m actually surprised I like this.
