| The title of Jemina Pearl’s first post-Be Your Own Pet album, Break It |
| Up, could apply to a fight or a band — and in Pearl’s case, it’s a |
| little of both. Be Your Own Pet’s music and attitude (especially on- |
| stage) were so riotous that it was clear they wouldn’t last long. The |
| band folded not too long after the release of its second album, Get |
| Awkward, which had one of its best songs, “Becky,” cut from the official |
| release because its nasty update of girl group pop was deemed too |
| violent by the record label. It’s no coincidence that some of that |
| song’s mix of sugar and spite resurfaces on Break It Up, since Pearl |
| wrote the track with Be Your Own Pet drummer John Eatherly and he |
| remains her chief collaborator here. The pair worked with producer John |
| Agnello on these songs, and even though they’re far more polished and |
| sedate than Be Your Own Pet were at their tamest, Pearl and Eatherly |
| still specialize in twisted pop with a mean streak. This time, however, |
| they draw from influences like Blondie and the Go-Go’s and collaborators |
| who include David Sitek, Redd Kross’ Steve McDonald, that dog.’s Anna |
| Waronker, and Thurston Moore (who lends some of his effortless cool to |
| “D Is for Danger”’s backing vocals). It’s Iggy Pop, however, who |
| contributes Break It Up’s standout “I Hate People,” a love song for |
| misanthropes that updates punk’s penchant for subverting ’50s and |
| early-’60s pop and rock. Pearl isn’t a particularly nuanced singer, but |
| she still gets to explore sounds and moods that wouldn’t have been |
| possible with Be Your Own Pet’s brand of chaos. Though there are a few |
| songs (”Looking for Trouble,” “So Sick”) that don’t stray far from |
| Eatherly and Pearl’s previous band, she discovers new shades of being a |
| bad — or more accurately, independent — girl with tracks like |
| “Ecstatic Appeal,” an unabashedly girly song about not needing any old |
| guy because she’s a Gemini and therefore never lonely, and the brooding |
| death wish pop of “Retrograde.” Still, Break It Up’s highlights are the |
| songs that feel the most autobiographical. “Nashville Shores” sums up |
| her time in that city with the one-two lyrical punch “Boys are bad! Beer |
| is cheap!” and she waves “goodbye with a middle finger” on the fiery |
| “Band on the Run.” Pearl and Eatherly don’t escape their past entirely |
| on Break It Up, but they’re well on their way to waving goodbye to it. |
