Dirty Money and Filthy Love

The Dalloways get a little dirty on their new EP release Dirty Money and Filthy Love. With talk of secret skins, filthy love, Godlessness, tramps, ice queens and ‘using it before you lose it’ all woven into catchier more danceable tracts than those of their debut album Penalty Crusade, the Dalloways have reinvented themselves into a moodier, grittier brand of Brit-pop music with a hint of romance.

Dirty suits the Dalloways.

Although they sing about filthy love, the Dalloways music is by no means filthy. Rather its moody, lush, textured and a melodically driven machine that has you singing along, tapping your feet and even clapping your hands in Me and Thomas Hardy. These are the kinds of songs that keep playing in your head long after the CD has stopped spinning.

Lyrically the Dalloways don’t disappoint with their creative story-telling, literary references to Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles in Me and Thomas Hardy, mature themes, moodiness, romantic undertones and sound bites from that classic 1960’s gothic soap Dark Shadows in Didn’t Have the Time.

I love lyrics that make me contemplate their meaning as Cerro Coso Community College creative writing professor and Dalloways front man Gerhard Enns’ lyrics always do. But I have to tell you he had me stumped for a while with the Dark Shadows sound clips. I recognized the actor’s voices and even the scene, but I couldn’t remember their names or the name of the show. It plagued me so I had to search it out on the Internet! A classic soap opera as a metaphor for life, clever.

Dalloways keyboardist Cortnie Cleary co-wrote I Love You Regardless and Didn’t Have the Time and is more present on this EP with her moody vocals proving she’s more than just the Dalloways hot babe.

I’ve been listening to Dirty Money and Filthy Love non-stop since I received my copy of the Dalloways new EP its one of those pieces of music that you just can’t let go of.

EP Track list:

1. Dirty Money and Filthy Love
2. Me and Thomas Hardy
3. Let’s Climb the Staircase

The Dalloways hope to release their full-length album Distant Fairs later this summer, which is sure to be a musical masterpiece if Dirty Money and Filthy Love is a sample of what’s yet to come. No matter what the Dalloways turn out next, I’ll love them regardless.
