Product DescriptionAgent Ribbons is a Sacramento trio whose music has
been described as Victorian punk or The White Stripes
lost in Alice s Wonderland. With an old-timey aesthetic
that is nonetheless thoroughly modern, they miraculously
reconcile seemingly unrelated genres, sounding something
like Girls in the Garage doing the Three Penny Opera.
And with almost constant touring since 2007, the band
has cemented a deeply devoted fan base across the US
and Europe. Agent Ribbons forthcoming album, Chateau
Crone, is a tremendous step forward. With delicate violin
arrangements, noisy dissonant tangents, Spector-esque
vocal harmonies, and clever melodic phrasing, the
album cannot commit to a genre but always manages to
sound like the same brand of baroque pop. Each copy of
Chateau Crone comes with a 24-page full color booklet as
well as a temporay tattoo for aspiring Chateau Cronies.
