On their 2007 full-length debut, WHAT'S THE TIME, MR. WOLF? the Noisettes successfully establish themselves as U.K. counterparts to New York City's Yeah Yeah Yeahs. While the London-based trio shares a number of similarities with Karen O and company--most notably, a fierce frontwoman and a spare, edgy post-punk-influenced musical approach--the group, led by vocalist/bassist Shingai Shoniwa, clearly has its own distinctive sound. With Shoniwa impressively meshing the singing styles of Martina Topley-Bird (Tricky) and PJ Harvey, the band's dynamic aesthetic is best revealed on the spiky, wire-tight "IWE" and the soulful, bluesy "Sister Rosetta (Capture the Spirit)," a raucous tribute to gospel great Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
