Dilly Dally's debut album 'Sore' is heavy and melodic. The record has nods to Sonic Youth, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Distillers, and even The Pogues. Monks calls it "All that and a bag of weed." After years of rotating members (Ball and Monks have traded out three drummers and bassists), they have settled with Benjamin Reinhartz and Jimmy Tony. The combination resulted in a debut that sweeps the listener along into Monks' psyche, as she screams in a coarse holler that chameleons, sliding in cadence and scale. Monks paints pictures of snakes crawling out of her head, while Ball adds simple, sparkling guitar leads that cut through the wall of fuzz and pedals. Reinhartz's drumming is instinctual, driving forward, while Jimmy Tony carries the melody along with his simple and effective bass lines. Dilly Dally plays like one person, a unit that works to infect the audience. After a few choice singles and a 7", the band's debut is strong work, due in part to production from Josh Korody (Fucked Up, Greys) and Leon Taheny (Owen Pallett, Austra, Dusted)..



"not just huge, but Pixies huge...['Desire'] hits that ever-elusive sweetspot between total recklessness and sly control."

The FADER



"a sodden Breeders-worthy riff...'Desire' is a lustful, exhilarating swamp; Dilly Dally know it's not always pretty when love is overtaking you."

Pitchfork



"Dilly Dally have been releasing a series of increasingly explosive singles, all in the long lead-up to their debut album, where it sounds like they ll harness all that rage into something really magical, at least if lead single Desire is any indication."

Stereogum



"'Desire' is sleeker, catchier, but no less confrontational than past releases, building itself around a gorgeous, lazy riff and drifting more towards the Siamese Dream side of fuzz."

The Quietus



"a vital, vicious statement of intent...On the one hand, Desire sounds giant venue-ready, sky-reaching with its intent - on the other, it s an intensely personal, introverted kick to the system."

DIY



"Three and a half minutes of post-prom-level squealing from Toronto."
