A modern Classic- The Guardian. Coke Bottle Clear Vinyl Anniversary edition. Two years after San Francisco band Girls' debut (Album) and one year after their follow-up EP (Broken Dreams Club), they released the natural, third entry in the Girls recorded trinity (Father, Son, Holy Ghost). Album was a sketch of the life Christopher Owens and Chet "JR" White lived in San Francisco; a messy bedroom broadcast to the world. Broken Dreams Club blasted their home-studio ideas into widescreen projection and served as a crucial stepping stone to newfound studio fidelity. Father, Son, Holy Ghost saw the band holed up in a basement recording studio in SF's gritty Tenderloin district, where the din of daytime street life forced Christopher to record his vocals during quiet nights, whispering his own stories alongside those of the city's. Time and time again, Girls employed the whole palette of pop music to convey their own intimate and troubled visions, just as classic songwriters have done before them. Girls juxtaposes the pain and beauty, hope and misery, which lie at the heart of music. "Some of the earliest songs we learn are happy and joyous, which is why we sing when we are sad, in a sort of effort to get back to that place of happiness." says Owens. Girls are fearless traditionalists, savants, and provocateurs- everything we suspected they were when they debuted - and more. "I'm still all the same," Owens says. "I still don't get it and I still know, I have to do it. I still love the songs and writing songs." So long as he doesn't fall out of love with music, Girls will be forever worth listening to.
