"Madeline Babuka Black, who used to play in Yucky Duster and Beverly and more recently in LA's Le Pain, makes wonderful janglepop on her own as Slippers. She's just announced her first album for K Records, Slippers 08; she played everything on it and it will be out June 5."
"The first single from the album is 'Wants For Everyone,' a winning confection that, with its 'ooooooohooooh' chorus and jazzy chording, reminds me a little of early Cardigans. You can watch the video, shot on 16mm film, below."
"The album was mixed and mastered by Fred Thomas (Saturday Looks Good to Me), and the artwork was designed by Mike Kroll. Slippers will be on tour with Hunx & His Punx on the West Coast in June."
