Agent Ribbons - "Chateau Crone"

Agent Ribbons are Natalie Gordon (guitar and vocals) and Lauren Hess (drums), a duo from Sacramento  whose music has been described as "Victorian punk" or “White Stripes locked in Wonderland”. Their sound is truly a reminiscent of the fifties and sixties blues, something like Nina Simone fronting The Raincoats. Chateau Crone was Agent Ribbons second full-length album, recorded by Manny Nieto (The Breeders, HEALTH) and Scott McChane (editor of Tape Op). and it features their most accomplished songs yet, with delicate violin arrangements, noisy dissonant tangents, Spectoresque vocal harmonies and clever melodic phrasing.
