Gene Loves Jezebel
Exploding Girls

Gene Loves Jezebel have been around (in various permutations) since goth diverged from the early Eighties neo-romantic scene. Though frontman Michael Aston (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 smoldering, melodic meditation on Wafa Idris, Palestine's first female suicide bomber, in which Aston eschews judgment in favor of character analysis, at one point evoking Joan of Arc. Other topical and personal insights surface amid edgy tunes shot through with exotic flavors, 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.
