not that innocent - luther (dallas,tx)
If there is one thing that we love in this day and age, it's obvious and intentional contradiction. It's the spice of life and it confuses old people, which is always a plus. It seems that NYC rockers the Virgins know this, hence their ironically innocent, and at the same time subversively risqué name. In the same way their geographic location juxtaposes their name, their lighthearted, layed back, almost cute sound is conversed by their faux-tough, dreary, modern, love-lorn lyrics. In the lead single off their recently released self titled EP, Rich Girls, the band ' do-do-do 's and ' who-who 's around the bouncy confines of the track in a lackadaisical falsetto about the hopeless drift of listless youth while the trouncing bass line and hooky guitar keep you bobbing your head and smiling. With the hip abandon of California minstrels Phantom Planet or fellow locals the Strokes, the Virgins have a lot of headroom with the accesibility of their sound, while still keeping the music intelligent and sonically interesting enough for more discerning listeners.
You can check out more of their music, news and updates at their homepage and on their MySpace. They don't seem to be playing many shows anytime soon, but if they head down this way, you can be sure I'll check them out.
