GIRL BAND - The Talkies LP (colour vinyl)
$39.95
Limited edition blue vinyl.
Gatefold sleeve.
Everything builds on the template Girl Band have laid for themselves since they burst into our consciousness with their cover of Blawans’ ‘Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage?’ Which is to say, unpredictable song structures, inexplicable guitar playing, and a singer who sounds a bit like Mark E. Smith. And it’s all pretty good! To our ear, they’re still yet to match the explosiveness of that early cover, but the combination of horrible noisy guitar playing and techno drums indisputably works. And probably will continue to.
