Girl Band have been in session for Rough Trade recording a reassuringly raucous version of their ‘Holding Hands With Jamie’ album track ‘Baloo‘. Check it out below.
The band called off the remainder of their 2015 touring plans last month citing ‘health issues’, but are set to resume touring the UK throughout February and early March next year.
“‘Texting An Alien‘ is a minute by minute account of wearing Lynx Africa to throwing biscuits that invariably results in screaming, but it’s the album’s best chance to collect itself under some mellow guitar work before the longest track, ‘Fucking Butter‘, gains some groove towards the end and ‘The Witch Doctor‘ finishes things off as intensely as they started 40 minutes ago,” our album review reads.
“Describing something as amorphous, as melodically slender, as Girl Band has its perils. They don’t quite fit into grunge, punk, goth or rock. And neither do they seem to appreciate being labelled (the Nirvana comparison irking most).”
“Nor should they have to be given an identity. But we’ll go on trying to as ‘Holding Hands With Jamie’ is possibly as new and fresh a noise as there is today.”
