South coast purveyors of all things polka-dotted, The Pipettes, will release their debut album this July.
Becki (grrr), Rose and Gwenno will let loose the 14-track We Are The Pipettes on July 17th, through Memphis Industries. Included are the singles 'Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me' and 'Dirty Mind'. That 'ABC' song from a long out-of-print seven-inch is included, too, which is good cos it's TOP.
The band's next single, 'Pull Shapes', precedes the album on June 3rd.
Here's them songs in the order in which they, um, run...
1 'We Are The Pipettes'
2 'Pull Shapes'
3 'Why Did You Stay?'
4 'Dirty Mind'
5 'It Hurts to See you Dance So Well'
6 'Judy'
