Untitled

End of Daze is the fourth EP by Dum Dum Girls[2] released September 25, 2012. This is the third Dum Dum Girls release produced by Richard Gottehrer and The Raveonettes' Sune Rose Wagner in a row; fourth overall for Gottehrer.

Background

Three songs from the EP - "Mine Tonight", "I Got Nothing" and "Trees and Flowers" - were originally recorded for 2011's Only in Dreams but put aside for being "too different" and "atmospheric".[3] These songs were intended to be used b-sides; for instance, the Strawberry Switchblade cover of "Trees and Flowers" was to accompany "Bedroom Eyes" on the unreleased 7" single.[4] The remaining songs were recorded a year later in New York City in Chelsea, Manhattan.[3]

Reception

The album received generally positive reviews upon its release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 74 based on 19 reviews, which indicates "Generally favorable reviews".[5]
