Review

Rolling Stone (p.105) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[With] gorgeous songs that range from Buddy Holly-style rock to prom balladry to the strummy epic 'Hellhole Ratrace.'"
Q (Magazine) (p.111) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The abiding mood is of boy-next-door heartache, while the songwriting draws heavily on bigwigs such as Elvis Costello, Burt Bacharach and Brian Wilson..."

Title Note

As yet another indie pop band heralded by a snowstorm of internet praise largely the result of three brilliantly shot heroin chic videos for "Hellhole Ratrace," "God Damned," and "Lust for Life," Girls' 2009 album--simply titled ALBUM--actually proved itself worthy of the hype upon its release. Comprised of two free-spirited San Francisco burnouts (one appearing relatively clean cut, the other greasy haired and disheveled) JR White and Christopher Owens go for the Mellow Gold with their take on D.I.Y. California pop. Where the similarly blog-toted Wavves offered a pill-popping, pot-fueled skater's perspective on fun in the sun, Girls offer up a similarly thrifty, drug-addled ode to the warm climate, but filtered through a pair of green-tinted hippie shades. In their brand of lo-fi, they opt to go against the momentary trend of recording in the red, and instead utilize an earthy approach, with clean Ariel Pink guitar twang and Spiritualized psychedelic reverb. White plays the producer role, acting as a fly on the wall at times, and at others layering shoegaze swells to fill the backdrop of Owen's minimalistic, squeaky-voiced guitar ballads. Simplicity is the duo's ally, as is their knack for keen Beach Boys melodies. As a whole, everything's relaxed and dreamy, perfectly matching the '70s aesthetic of their videos.
