Comment: approximately 16 months ago I reviewed Phoenix, Arizona-based project Girlhood`s eponymous album (2010, CLLCT) which was a fabulous blend of psychedelia, divergent breaks and beats, and glo-fi templates pouring out of numerous slots. This time Girlhood`s set of 5 pieces is absolutely another story taking on restrained yet psyched-out, reverb-heavy guitar strums, rough vocal lines and buried incantations thereby gushing out much corroded magic and freeing mysticism.
