At the beginning of March, the Dum Dum Girls released the He Gets Me High EP on Sub Pop.

He Gets Me High, like debut album I Will Be, was produced by Richard Gottehrer — best known for writing the girl pop classics "I Want Candy" and "My Boyfriend's Back." This time around, Sune Rose Wagner of the Raveonettes hung around for a producer's credit as well.

If you missed out on last year's I Will Be, here's the single "Bhang, Bhang, I'm A Burnout." Enjoy — it's chock full of grrrl power:
