girlhood - Surf Nothing (2010)




8.8

/DIY, Experimentalism, Ambient, Lo-fi, Avant-garde, Noise/

Comment: this obscure Phoenix, Arizona project has issued some albums more than a handful of releases - some of them are strongly contrasted against other ones. And vice versa. Also this release of 4 pieces makes sense due to its fragmented, barely fathomable nature. There are represented DIY-tinged synth progressions with rattling pounding at the backdrop, chaotic noise terrains where fx used to dominate over the usual composition technique. The final track 1995 is a wondrous progression of spaced-out trip giving to the listener a genuine Outer Space feel.
