Crash Test Dummies release 'Oooh La La'

Canada's own Crash Test Dummies are back from a 6 year hiatus with 'Oooh La La', an eclectic new album who's genesis lies in frontman and songwriter Brad Roberts' exploration of vintage toy instruments.

Produced by Stewart Lerman (Antony & The Johnsons, The Roches), and featuring vocals from long-term member Ellen Reid, the albums twists and turns take in everything from the dark, meditative opener 'Songbird' to the burly-q tease of 'Now You See Her'.

Check out the video above, and head to the recently revamped crashtestdummies.com to hear the album, order your copy and check out the band's upcoming tour dates.
