Too True is the third album by Dum Dum Girls, released by Sub Pop on January 22, 2014 in Japan; January 27, 2014 in Europe; and January 28, 2014 worldwide. The album marked the fourth Dum Dum Girls release in a row produced by Richard Gottehrer and The Raveonettes' Sune Rose Wagner, and the fifth overall for Gottehrer. The album reached No. 138 on the UK Albums Chart.
Too True was compared to British alternative rock bands like Siouxsie And The Banshees, The Cure, The Stone Roses, Suede and The Jesus And Mary Chain. The production on the album featured heavy use of reverb and multiple layers of guitars.
Dee Dee began to write Too True while touring for End of Daze, and in November 2012, she began to record the album with Gottehrer at Pet Sounds at East West Studios in Hollywood. However, Dee Dee soon realized her voice was damaged from touring, which halted recording. During this break, she rewrote lead single "Lost Boys & Girls Club" and slowly recorded the vocals herself back in New York City.
The song "Are You Okay?" was originally written and intended for Ronnie Spector but Gottehrer convinced Dee Dee to keep it for herself.
The album and track listing were unveiled on October 31, 2013, alongside the release of the video for the first single, "Lost Boys & Girls Club," which premiered with H&M. On November 15, a teaser video for "Too True to Be Good" was released in conjunction with V Magazine. The "Lost Boys & Girls Club" single was released on December 17, 2013.
The second single from the album, "Rimbaud Eyes", premiered January 11, 2014 via Subpop's official Soundcloud page.NPR premiered the full album on January 20 through an exclusive "first listen" stream on their website.
