Over the past few years, we’ve come to know Danish-Brazilian rock ‘n’ roll duo The Courettes through their fuzzy garage rock songs and provocative live shows, but now they’re taking a slightly different path. Not really a surprise after hearing last May’s Hold On, We​’​re Comin’ LP, on which singer/guitarist Flavia Couri and drummer Martin Couri covered classics, partly in collaboration with the original artists. While they can’t completely let go of their dirty and dangerous side, they determinedly bring a poppy girl group sound much more to the fore on their new full-length, aptly titled The Soul Of…The Fabulous Courettes. They didn’t want to do the same album again, but chose to show their love for Motown and Phil Spector’s Wall Of Sound, and they succeed brilliantly. The thirteen songs are a bit more personal – the souls of both musicians can be found not only in the music but also in the lyrics – but still meant to dance to.

The Soul Of…The Fabulous Courettes, produced by C. T. Levine & Søren Christensen, is out now on vinyl LP through Damaged Goods Records.
