Dimestore Dolls

“You Are the Fix,” the mesmerizing debut single from Dimestore Dolls, immediately sets them apart from other indie acts – not just because of the song’s infectious groove, but also because frontwoman Kelly Buchanan wrote it with her longtime friend, Fountains of Wayne member Adam Schlesinger. In something of a tribute to Schlesinger, who passed away in 2020 of COVID-19, the song features performances from all surviving Fountains of Wayne members.

That collaboration is impressive, but Dimestore Dolls are more than capable of creating gorgeous harmonies and upbeat melodies on their own, as well. The Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based band prove this on the rest of the tracks on their debut album, Wooly Mamas, which is set for release in July 2022.
