Girls: Album

True Panther Sounds [2009]









Fire Drill Review:

The debut album from San Francisco's Girls is one glorious lo-fi fuzzy direct sunny indie pop hot mess. That translates into - it's good! The record has a lead singer in Christopher Owens that can sound as smooth as Morrissey, sharp as Steve Malkmus, and as vocally powerful as an Elvis Costello. The record has meaning, as many of the songs were written after a tough break up and a cohesiveness front to back, which might be the combo of a perfect storm as it was recorded with most of the band members taking a multitude of substances. The end result is Album by Girls, which I guarantee that once you spin it, you won't put it down. It easily will be one of our favorites at years end!

Key Track: "Hellhole Ratrace"
