Notable Albums of 2009

Noteable Album of 2009- Album by Girls

Lust for Life- Girls The debut album of the San Franscisco based Girls is simply titled Album. Girls remind me of the do-it-yourself, idiot savant UK punk bands of the late 70s like the Slits, Essential Logic and the Mekons. Their videos look like those cinema veritae Calvin Klein ads of the 90s featuring a rotating cast of wasted heroin chic teenagers. If you like quirky and precocious kids playing druggy dream pop, Girls might be right up your alley. The jury is still out on the long term career prospects of this volatile band, but their debut has impressive even if you're a jaded and world weary Gen X punk rocker.
