For many fans, songwriter Dee Dee seemed to come out of nowhere when her Dum Dum Girls project started getting hyped in the blogosphere in 2008/2009. She wasn't a total newcomer to the music world however, as she previously played drums and sang in promising San Diego, CA outfit Grand Ole Party (with whom she performed under her real name, Kristin Gundred). Now, the group's unreleased second album is set to come out on August 30 via DH Records.
The album is called Under Our Skin, and it was produced by indie mega-producer Ben H. Allen (Animal Collective, Deerhunter). It was recorded in 2009, the same year the trio subsequently broke up. The record marks the follow-up to the group's debut LP, Humanimals.
