Band Smells Like Tween Spirit: Golden Grrrls

Posted by on Thu, Mar 14, 2013 at 6:07 PM

Since it feels like all my friends are in Texas soaking up sun and free beer and getting their pictures taken with Tardar the cat, I am suppressing my SXSW jealousy by wrapping myself in flannel and digging around Slumberland Records' amazing catalog. Right now, I'm obsessing over the twee-rock charm from the new Golden Grrrls album. The Glasgow trio song's are all comprised of back and forth male/female harmonies that remind me a lot of that Heavenly song they let Calvin Johnson do guest vocals on (Pitchfork only gave their album a 6.2 last week, but they also gave Elliot Smith's album Figure 8 a 6.9 back in the day... so I guess we were never really not on the same page, anyways.)

Golden Grrrls open for Veronica Falls and Brilliant Colors at the Tractor on March 21.
