The Dandy Warhols Come Down
Before the Dandy Warhols received mainstream popularity with one of their singles from Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia being used in a UK television ad campaign, they had two albums under their belt and were in ‘almost popular’ territory. A result of record company pressure to produce a follow-up to their debut The Dandy Warhols Rule OK, The Dandy Warhols Come Down has a more atmospheric and experimental sound than the more recent material. Recorded at a frantic pace following a false start (the recordings for the ‘Black Album’ being very hard to find), it combines ambient harmonies, radio-friendly hooks and sharp, quirky lyrics.
