SEVEN NOISES

This 10 inch is the first official Girls release in the UK, even the main track was first published last year as a 7 inch single in the USA and it's been sold out for ages. Since its first release they have been getting more and more popular thanks to the internet blogging effect and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart recommendation in every single interview they've offered for the last 7 months. They've also toured Europe and played popular festivals all around. Everything with just two really limited sold out singles that have never been available in Europe. This is the power of the media and internet these days. Two good singles, some good words, and you are the next big thing. And to celebrate it, Girls release this song again, one of their best, with a new B-side, the expendable Solitude. They still have not recorded their first record yet, or at least that's what they said to a friend of mine after one of their London gigs, but they have plenty of songs to do it so judging for what you can hear in their concerts. The only doubt is if they are going to be up to the expectations.

Released 06/08/09

Girls is another of these bands everybody is talking about that has become huge in months thanks to the power of Internet. They released two singles last year, Hellhole Ratrace and this one and are currently working on their first album. They are a Californian duo (sometimes helped by another two members) that a lot of people have discovered after The Pains of Being Pure at Heart have talked about them in every single interview they've done in the last months. They are not girls and Lust for Life is not an Iggy Pop cover: it's the ultimate pop song you automatically dance and sing around your house non-stop. Only two and a half minutes of sunshine pop that combines British end-of-the -eighties indie pop with a 60s atmosphere while the B side Morning Light sounds like a Guide by Voices outtake.
