The Gossip return

Yesterday, The Gossip released a new single, entitled “Perfect World.”

Although some may argue that The Gossip have left their DIY-punk roots — especially with their last full-length album, released by a major label and produced by Rick Rubin — but that would be shortsighted. Beth Ditto and her Gossip compadres simply now have access to bigger and better things. They still play from their older catalogue in their shows, and Ditto’s voice has probably never sounded better.

Personally, I am waiting for Ditto to officially release a cover of “Vogue.”
