THE REVIEW
It's easy to fall into the hipster trap. Especially when records marked in this way are of high quality.
These four star-spangled girls, now on their second effort, deliver the perfect album, straddling noisy and hypnotically right indie rock, lo-fi approach akin to Pitchfork, and memorable melodies. The guitars are rough, the drums dynamic, and the bass baritone. The vocals are reverberated and almost off-key, with post-feminist lyrics. All the ingredients are there.
Drone starts, the first track. Slow, repetitive, and hypnotic. Simply perfect. The ironic and pop single Cool sluts continues the album up to the violent and foxcore The thing, reminiscent of the best L7, and the melancholic and extremely melodic Joke and Lydia (sung by the second guitarist of the same name).
The title-track closes. It starts like a still rock elegy from another time (between Nico and Slowcore in the era of the 2010s), declares a punk bubblegum chorus and finishes by repeating its title to the point of obsession.
It isn't an innovative milestone, but it fascinates and surely stays in your head.
