Girls

Artist- Girls
Album- Broken Dreams Club EP
Label- True Panther Sounds
Genre- indie rock

With 6 songs clocking in at 30 minutes, San Francisco outfit Girls randomly dropped this EP as a “thanks” to everyone who supported their debut album (literally titled Album). “Oh So Protective One” features gorgeous horn flourishes over Christopher Owens’ trademarked, pseudo-Costello voice. We have the usual Girls lyrical themes: getting high to escape problems (#3, though the whammy bar on this track is annoying) and heartbreak (any of them). The mood on this album is less triumphant than Album, with bummer lyrics like “Who wants something real / when you can have nothing?”.
