New imprint from Dallas-based Idol Records signs first artist, Little Black Dress
The new Idol Records imprint Exploding Plastic Records has signed its first artist Little Black Dress.
Little Black Dress is the brainchild of veteran Dallas musicians Toby Pipes and Nolan Thies.
The two have collaborated on the writing, engineering, and producing of all the cuts that will appear on their upcoming Exploding Plastic / Idol debut album in 2009. Their unique sound might remind you of a deep-cut track from one of your favorite 4 A.D. compilations with influences spanning decades of innovative music - from synth driven sounds of Cabaret Voltaire, to the droning but noisy guitars and under-stated vocals of My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus and Mary Chain, to the layered melodic swirling of the Cocteau Twins.
Along with Toby (vocals, guitars) and Nolan (vocals, bass), Little Black Dress is backed by Brent Elrod (guitars), Earl Darling (drums), Cooper Heffley (electric drums/keys), and Taylor Tatsch (guitars).
The band is currently wrapping up production on the album at Toby Pipes' Bass Propulsion Labs Studio in Dallas with Pipes and Thies producing, for a March 2009 release.
