The Little Death
The Little Death
New York City-based blues band the Little Death-led by gigantic-voiced Laura Dawn with Moby (yes, that Moby) on guitar and bass-has been called "a special cocktail of soul, punk, blues, rock, and just the right amount of drunk." The name is a play on the French phrase for orgasm ("la petite mort"), and with languid, bluesy jams like "Shake and Tremble" and the riotous "Love or a Gun," the band's debut album makes a great Valentine's Day playlist.
