Additional InformationGirls' 2009 Album Actually Proved Itself Worthy of the Hype Upon Its Release.
ReviewsIncluded in Entertainment Weekly's 'The Best Albums of 2009' -- "ALBUM is a shambolic tribute to the enduring spark of basement-bred rock & roll...", Ranked #5 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2009" -- "A dazzling debut that hazily evokes 1959 without the greaser-kitsch baggage.", "Their music is jam-packed full of laid back melodies and psychedelic wanderings under pinned with classic hooks.", 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.'", “The Duo Manages to Make Sweet Pop Music Devoid of Cynicism.”, 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...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "ALBUM lurches bizarrely from the heart-rending to the goofy to the simply spaced-out, but what it lacks in polish it makes up for with buckets of charm.", "While 'Goddamn''s hedonistic verses carry trace inflections of the Thin White Duke, 'Hellhole Rat Race' bears a far more somber Costello-esque vocal."
Album by Girls is nothing short of a masterpiece, blending whimsical but razer-sharp lyrics with slinky guitar lines and the occasional "bah bah bahs" to craft a choice selection of songs about love, loss and longing. It's truly great and you should get it right now.
