EXPLOSIVE GARAGE ROCKERS the Courettes released their debut album, Here Are the Courettes, way back in 2015. Brazilian singer/guitarist Flavia Couri’s playing sounds like a crazy mix of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley and Johnny Ramone. Meanwhile, her husband, Denmark’s Martin Couri, attacks the poor drum kit with a ferocity that makes The Muppet Show’s Animal look immobile. Their new album, The Soul of… the Fabulous Courettes (Damaged Goods Records), channels Motown, Phil Spector and Sixties pop. Sonically, it’s a long way from their debut record, but for Flavia, it’s all coming from the same place. Below, Couri gives us the low-down.
The new album has some pretty lavish production values, including lots of extra instrumentation. Is this how your first album would’ve sounded if you’d had the budget?
