Girls can apply many things, including the name of an up-and-coming collective out of San Francisco. If you haven’t heard of these Girls yet, you probably will soon, what with their incredibly thought provokingly titled debut, Album, due out on September 22nd via True Panther Sounds in partnership with Matador Records, and a summer of touring with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Los Campesinos!.
Check out a preview of the “honest, loose, ethereal, obnoxious and perfect” 12-track effort — that’s how the band described it — in the form of a video for “Hellhole Ratrace” below. The tracklist and complete touring schedule follows.
