Girls released one of the most critically-acclaimed albums last year with their debut, Album. On November 22nd, they'll release a new 6-song EP entitled Broken Dreams Club via True Panther. Even with only six songs, the EP clocks in at 30 minutes, which, by comparison, is longer than X's Los Angeles or the Ramones' self-titled debut. Below, you can hear/download "Heartbreaker" from the new EP.
Girls - "Heartbreaker"
(via Crawdaddy)
With an opening progression carried by a slow-moving phaser effects pedal, "Heartbreaker" initially sounds like a cut of dream pop. From there, it maintains a sense of mid to late-'80s indie pop, with touches of chorus, reverb, and phaser effects. It's a meditative strummer, well-structured and consistently strong throughout. The band recently shared one of their musical obsessions on Twitter: a British alternative rock band from the '80s called Felt. A link was posted for a Felt song entitled "Penelope Tree," and, hearing the song, it's not hard to pinpoint what era, or what style of sound, they were drawing from and inspired by when working on the material for Broken Dreams Club.
Hear Felt's "Penelope Tree" and download "Heartbreaker" after the jump.
