Blonds come across loose- like they only care half as much as they should, but it works for them in some blasé, cool factor, lo-fi lovers, garage lust way. Their elongated vocals and slow beats create a sound similar to Beach House. There is also some modern ambition and grunge of the Dum Dum Girls. The past is a prominent influence in The Bad Ones. The duo draw on 1930's histrionics, '40's jazz, '50's poise, some old Southern backbone, and '60's motown. In short, Blonds is a pair of old souls living in a modern world making music for the artsy, the cynical lovers, and all those scheming dreamers.
