We're pleased to announce the brand new full-length album from indiepop legend Amelia Fletcher's band TENDER TRAP (also featuring Elizabeth Morris from Allo Darlin'). It is called Dansette Dansette and will be released on Fortuna POP! on 12 July 2010. Just before that there will be a single from the album called "Do You Want a Boyfriend" with the b-side of "The Sum and the Difference". Look out for live shows in July (see dates below)!
A free download single is already available for the track "Girls With Guns" which you can download here http://www.fortunapop.com/girls_with_guns_free_download.php
There's also a fabulous video for this track here:

Gone is the more contemplative pop classicism of recent years to be replaced by a riot-grrrl-esque tale of sisterhood and revenge that wouldn’t be out of place among the punkest moments of Amelia's previous outfits Talulah Gosh and Heavenly. While guitars and drums rush by in a blur, Amelia and her new girl crew swear a cold-hearted vengeance on the unreliable and untrustworthy menfolk of the town.
“In a nicer parallel universe, Tender Trap’s Amelia Fletcher is the most influential artist of her day” (NME)
