True Panther Sounds, again in conjunction with Matador, is releasing the San Francisco based duo Girls debut album on September 22nd. In what could soon become a growing trend, the album is simply entitled album. Girls channel the vocals of an early, lo-fi, Elvis Costello had he been born 30 years later riding a wave of golden coast folk and pop. The duo played the Echo, here in L.A., Monday night to a sold out crowd with POBPAH, and according to friends in attendance, quickly won over the crowd and then some. The two tracks below are the cleaned up/mastered versions from the hellhole 10″ (edit: thx chocolate) (hat tip to Chris for the heads up on these new versions).

Wow, I really like this but I happened to listen to “Hellhole Ratrace” right after my roommate told me to get out of the house and not be alone with my thoughts… kinda depressing.
