Love and Affection for Stupid Little Bitches

Love and Affection for Stupid Little Bitches is the third studio album by Canadian noise pop duo Black Dresses.

[4][5] It explores themes such as finding friendship through times of hardship and pain, resilience and hope, identity, depression, and body horror.

[2][4][5] James Rettig of Stereogum felt that the album was more melodic than previous Black Dresses albums, and that the duo's production skills had improved "allowing more space and breathing room for some truly gorgeous moments to unfold."

[6] Andrew Sacher, writing for BrooklynVegan, described the album as Black Dresses' most accessible so far, but felt that it still retained its experimentalism, calling it "genuinely fresh and genuinely confrontational in an era where it often feels like you've heard it all.

"[5] Jordan Darville, writing for The Fader, praised the themes on the album and said that it showed "a capacity for merging noise and pop not heard since Nine Inch Nails.
