Oh goodness!!!! This might be my favourite single of all time. Dorothy’s voice is so delicate on “I Confess”, as she shyly confesses all of her likes from the Dixie Cups to Subway Sect, I am scared if I listen to her too much she will shatter. The tune reminds me of early, girly, teen pop but as if someone is forcing her to make that, by shoving her into a confessional booth and threatening her to sing sweetly. The B-side “Softness” is a synthpoppy track with writing credits to thee Genesis P-Orridge (Dorothy contributed drums for a year to Psychic TV, she also played drums for Rema-Rema). I love how she whispers to me over the synths as if she’s trying to convince me of something, something she’s not entirely convinced of herself. I view this as a stockholm syndrome pop record, anyways I am entranced by her.
RATING- 5 SWEET, LOVELY CHICKENS OUT OF 5
