Gene Loves Jezebel
TITLE Exploding Girl
CAT: No TRA1054

Release Date May 23rd 2005
Sales & Distribution ACTIVE MEDIA/ UNIVERSAL
PROACTIVE / T.H.E.

Gene Loves Jezebel have been around (in various permutations) since Goth diverged from the early Eighties neo-romantic scene and were originally a Beggars Banquet signing. Though frontman Michael Aston, now living in California (& whose twin brother Jay lost rights to the band name in 1997) is more Goth-ish than Gothic, he has a flair for the dramatic and knows how to use it. Exploding Girl" is a smouldering, melodic meditation on Wafa Idris, Palestine's first female suicide bomber. Other topical and personal insights surface amid edgy tunes shot through with exotic flavours, ranging from the slinky electronica-tinged groove behind the bittersweet "2 Hungry Women" to the African-style percussion driving "Blue Mary." This fetching album will hold a special appeal for those who fondly recall the days when Goth was more about romantic yearning (in the Bronte sense) and gritty pop rock than fetish gear and down-tuned guitars. This album is comprised completely of songs that Aston penned about women who have affected his life. It is probably the strongest album Gene Loves Jezebel has ever made. It's nearly flawless in it's U2 meets The Cure meets Human League style delivery. The songs are strong and catchy and the older Aston gets the more he sounds like Bono, and that's never a bad thing. The songs here are particularly intriguing due to their lyrical content. Aston delivers an entire album full of thought provoking songs that will definitely catch your attention.

“Overall this is a great album. The production is great, the song writing is superb, and the lyrics will stir you. This could very well be the defining moment for this legendary band”. Rolling Stone Magazine
