Girls\u2019 debut LP \u201cAlbum\u201d comes off as raw and slightly unfinished. Whether or not it\u2019s on purpose \u2013 the album was released through indie label True Panther Sounds \u2013 it ends up being an asset that adds to the feel of the record.<\/p>\n
On songs like \u201cHellhole Retrace\u201d you can hear the musicians whispering before they begin the song, but it doesn\u2019t come off contrived. It helps that the music is entertaining.<\/p>\n
With \u201cRetrace\u201d being the middle song of the album, the song takes on a melancholy sound while lead singer Christopher Owens sings.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sick and tired of the way that I feel\/I\u2019m always dreaming and it\u2019s never for real\/I\u2019m all alone with my deep thoughts\/I\u2019m all alone with my heartache and my good intentions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tracks like \u201cHeadache\u201d carry a 60s-slowdance vibe whereas \u201cSummertime\u201d has the feel of a 60s California party on the beach.<\/p>\n
\u201cLaura\u201d is a track where Owens sings about a lover\u2019s lament.<\/p>\n
\u201cReach out and touch me, I\u2019m right here\/And I don\u2019t wanna fight anymore\/I really wanna be your friend forever\/Friend until the end of it all\/I know I\u2019ve made mistakes\/But I\u2019m asking you to give me a break.\u201d<\/p>\n
Later on in the song, the instrumentals take the listener on a wondrous journey with sounds of guitar strums and effervescent humming.<\/p>\n
The 12-track debut is short but effective in taking the listener on a ride that will surely welcome the passenger for more than one trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
