Girls Girls Girls are the premier purveryers of alocoholic circus music, jacked up on gypsy punk and Bukowski. Renowned as Ex-Lirbis's most colourful and hard-hitting live act, the London three-piece's sophomore LP sees them perfect their unique mix of joyful balkan-influenced pop, chaotic piano balladry and wide-eyed punkabilly.
Songs for Grilly is a truly weird and wonderful collection, but one which is brilliantly unified by a killer pop sensibility. Equally adept at executing power-trio riffing as they are producing string-laden baroque outsider music, the album fuses Girls Girls Girls's innumberable influences to produce a truly compelling 12-song set. Being described variously as the Tom Waits you can take to out to a gay bar or the Rage Against the Machine you can take for a pint with your girlfriend, Songs for Grilly cements Girls Girls Girls's reputation as a band who compel and entertain in equal measure.
"As an antidote to the current wave of shoegazing indie bollocks, Girls Girls Girls' debut longplayer does the trick on all fronts. Danceable? Check. Intelligent? Check. Absolutely bloody brilliant? Check.
Girls Girls Girls are nothing if not ambitious. Each track is a finely honed piece, and rather than confusing matters, their point blank refusal to stick to a formula makes Songs For Grilly an even more compelling work. Where else can you find power-pop stomp alongside gypsy love songs, and finished off with a ridiculously over the top, and ridiculously brilliant, sea shanty?
From the sheer, unadulterated pleasure of the title track to the funk swing of American Girlfriend, the breadth of talent contained within Girls Girls Girls is clear for all to see, and when the music is delivered with such a refreshingly theatrical brilliance, it is not hard to imagine this album getting under the skin, and staying there for a good while indeed. It's great to see a band coming out of London that have somehow avoided getting embroiled in the tight-jeaned, floppy haired mess that passes for a scene right now, and it's ever better to find one that's as good as Girls Girls Girls." - NARC Magazine
