Animal sounds

Laughing Gasping by Wet Confetti

Lots of ThisNext ladies (and gents too!) are well aware of the awesomeness that is the Frozen Peas Accessories line: eprowell and dwilliams both heart the absurdly adorable Hugging Bear wallet, ataraxy is smitten with the Sleepy Little Fox Necklace, missgen swoons for the undeniable cuteness of a wooden birdie pin, and rugenius is just wild about the animal-adorned collection in general. (I, on the other hand, am in seriously love with the Leather Horse necklace, featured on DailyCandy just this week.)

But who knew that Frozen Peas founder/designer Alberta Poon was also the singer and bassist for Wet Confetti, a Portland, Oregon-based post-punk trio who put out their second record this week? I’ve been spinning Laughing Gasping way heavily lately: Produced by Dave Allen from Gang of Four, the CD’s so much smart, synthy, noisy fun. It’s perfect for dancing ‘round the house while getting ready to go out, especially when deciding whether to grace your neck with a pretty pony or cuddly fox this evening. Download a track (“Sorry Dinosaur”) over at You Ain’t No Picasso.
