Reviews
Rolling Stone (p.67) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[F]rom the Beach Boys pop of 'Honey Bunny' to the textured, churning rocker 'Alex' to the soul ballad 'Love Like a River,' Girls find the right sonic twist..." Spin (p.78) - "[With] exquisite, beyond-indie melodies, arrangements, and musicianship..." Spin (p.55) - Ranked #5 in Spin's 'The Top 40 Albums Of 2011' -- "Crisp boppers and winsome ballads glow with genius melodies." Uncut (p.86) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he straight-forward strumming of tracks like 'Alex' nicely recalls mid-period Teenage Fanclub..."
Additional information
Girls' second full-length sees indie rock songwriter Christopher Owens and his multi-instrumental sidekick Chet "JR" White getting better acquainted with the studio and growing more indulgent. All too often, artists follow up a breakout debut with a difficult sophomore outing, and Girls fall prey to the syndrome, overcompensating for average songs with dazzling instrumentation. It's probable that after recording a straight-ahead EP, they wanted to show off their range, and as a sprawling, 54-minute epic, Father, Son, Holy Ghost is decidedly vast, but it also goes completely over the top. "Alex," "Saying I Love You," and "Forgiveness" fit with the `50s/Americana vibe of the Broken Dreams Club set. "Die" sounds like a stoner rock version of Deep Purple's "Highway Star" before it gives way into a Pink Floyd outro. The dreamy organ ballads "My Ma" and "Vomit" take the Floyd craftsmanship to the next level with a questionable addition of soul singers. Elsewhere, flamenco guitar, Mellotron arrangements, and sweeping guitar harmonies shape simple Merseybeat and soft rock templates into majestic psych-prog-tinged rock numbers. If there is a unifying theme, it's that many of the songs start slow and escalate into overblown jams, with extra session musicians filling the gaps. As a duo, Girls felt comfortable like an old, weathered T-shirt, and now they feel like a well-pressed dress shirt with extra starch. The good news is that this album proves they are top-level purveyors of pop. The bad is that the eccentricity that once flowed freely feels forced. ~ Jason Lymangrover
