San Francisco duo Girls were the name on every indie kid's lips in the 2010s, with the pairing of songwriter Christopher Owens and producer / musician Chet "JR" White forging some kind of magic that had the likes of Pitchfork spellbound. Their meteoric rise left a giant crater in indie rock when they came crashing down and broke up in 2012, but thankfully Girls left behind two incredible albums, and an essential EP. Now, all these years later, Virgin have announced the vinyl reissue of debut album Album (2009), its follow-up Father, Son, Holy Ghost (2011), and the brilliant Broken Dreams Club EP. - Flying Out
Built on the powerful songwriting of Christopher Owens and ethereal production of Chet "JR" White, Girls recorded Album in a mix of bedrooms and studios in their adopted hometown of San Francisco. The resulting 12 tracks evoke a narcotic, sunny afternoon in Dolores Park, yet promising the eventual hangover of summer's departure. Album is self-described as "honest, loose, ethereal, obnoxious, perfect." It’s a sincere tribute to the majesty of great pop music and healing power of rock and roll.
Girls was definitive of the alt-rock, Pitchfork-dominated, early 2010s era of indie music.
