GIRL BAND - The Talkies LP (colour vinyl) tropicalia a genre soaked in 1970s

a genre soaked in 1970s over-production that’s virtually impossible to pull off in most cases

but we've heard this before in better form in her previous albums

nor an Earth-hugging “we need to get back to nature” hippie cop-out

's Massive crew on bringing trippy beats to the foreground is immeasurable

recorded when Teddy was in his pimply mid-teens

GIRL BAND - The Talkies LP (colour vinyl) tropicalia a genre soaked in 1970sLimited edition blue vinyl. Gatefold sleeve. Everything builds on the template Girl Band have laid for themselves since they burst into our consciousness with their cover of Blawans Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage? Which is to say, unpredictable song structures, inexplicable guitar playing, and a singer who sounds a bit like Mark E. Smith. And its all pretty good! To our ear, theyre still yet to match the explosiveness of that early cover,
