Album #01: Girls - Album
So here’s my album of the year - San Fransisco based Girls with their debut album Album. I don’t really know much about these guys, apparently the singer was in a cult called the Children of God… I do know that this album is amazing though.
““Album” is a song cycle about the various characters and desires that color Christopher and JR’s lives. Each song tells a story, some heartbreaking and some hopeful, some mischievous and others plaintive, but always, always honest. A surprisingly assured debut, “Album” pays tribute to the majesty of great pop music and the redemptive powers of rock and roll.” - True Panther Sounds website
Each track has a really classic California sound to it. And this one, ‘Laura’, has a High School break up feel to it; with the lyrics telling a story of a person loving a girl one minute, then hating her the next, then going back to loving her again. All this told over some really catchy drums and guitars.
Also be sure to check out the bonus track version of the album, it’s got an awesome cover of ‘End of the World’ - a track made famous by Skeeter Davis back in the 1960’s.
