"This is a solid California rock album, but covered in sweet, sticky grenadine."
No album has taken me on such a full, winding journey in and out of love, bitterness, and cynicism-proven-wrong the way How Do You Love? by The Regrettes did. The album shines fiercely with singles “I Dare You” and “Dress Up.” Most songs sampled bits and pieces from one another, as in “Pumpkin” and “The Game,” which subtly keep the tone flowing without feeling redundant. Each song pops in their own hip-shaking and head-banging way, set up by the “Are You in Love?” cleverly retro infomercial-style spoken-word intro. Overall, this is a solid California rock album, but covered in sweet, sticky grenadine.
