The Dandy Warhols know all about the decadent pleasures of the three, and for its new album, "Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia," the Portland, Oregon-based band has crafted a brilliantly trance-inducing record that builds upon the indulgent free spirit of its obvious influences, the Rolling Stones and the Velvet Underground.

Last time around, the Dandys enlisted the aid of Beastie Boys producer Mario Caldato, Jr. for 1997's "... The Dandy Warhols Come Down," which spawned the colorful alt-rock hit "Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth." But for "Thirteen Tales," the band holed up in a local recording studio, hung out with such friends and accomplices as Eric Matthews, Cake's Vincent DiFiore, and DJ Swamp, and just let the music flow.

And flow it did. As evidenced by such key tracks as "Nietzsche," "Solid," and "Shakin'," the new grooves are as deep and thick as ever, driven to excess by Courtney Taylor-Taylor's laconic snarl and deadpan observations on such mundaneness as living, loving, and losing.
