Girls' second full-length sees indie rock songwriter Christopher Owens and his multi-instrumental sidekick Chet "JR" White getting better acquainted with the studio and growing more indulgent. All too often, artists follow up a breakout debut with a difficult sophomore outing, and Girls fall prey to the syndrome, overcompensating for average songs with dazzling instrumentation. It's probable that after recording a straight-ahead EP, they wanted to show off their range, and as a sprawling, 54-minute epic, Father, Son, Holy Ghost is decidedly vast, but it also goes completely over the top. "Alex," "Saying I Love You," and "Forgiveness" fit with the '50s/Americana vibe of the Broken Dreams Club set. "Die" sounds like a stoner rock version of Deep Purple's "Highway Star" before it gives way into a Pink Floyd outro. The dreamy organ ballads "My Ma" and "Vomit" take the Floyd craftsmanship to the next level with a questionable addition of soul singers. Elsewhere, flamenco guitar, Mellotron arrangements, and sweeping guitar harmonies shape simple Merseybeat and soft rock templates into majestic psych-prog-tinged rock numbers. If there is a unifying theme, it's that many of the songs start slow and escalate into overblown jams, with extra session musicians filling the gaps. As a duo, Girls felt comfortable like an old, weathered T-shirt, and now they feel like a well-pressed dress shirt with extra starch. The good news is that this album proves they are top-level purveyors of pop. The bad is that the eccentricity that once flowed freely feels forced. ~ Jason Lymangrover

商品の紹介

Spin - "[With] exquisite, beyond-indie melodies, arrangements, and musicianship..." Rolling Stone - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[F]rom the Beach Boys pop of 'Honey Bunny' to the textured, churning rocker 'Alex' to the soul ballad 'Love Like a River,' Girls find the right sonic twist..." Uncut - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he straight-forward strumming of tracks like 'Alex' nicely recalls mid-period Teenage Fanclub..." Spin - Ranked #5 in Spin's 'The Top 40 Albums Of 2011' -- "Crisp boppers and winsome ballads glow with genius melodies."

サンフランシスコで荒れた毎日を送っていた2人のボーイズが出会い、パーティーの代わりに曲作りに熱中する。そんな彼ら、ガールズはデビュー作『Album』で寄せ集めの機材を使いながら、自宅にて夢を紡いでいた。そして、注目の2作目ではセッション・メンバー2人が参加。骨太なバンド・アンサンブルを軸に、メロトロンやチェレスタなど多彩な楽器にコーラス隊も加わって、サウンドは格段にビッグになった。さらにソングライティングの良さにも磨きがかかり、曲によってはプログレ的とも言えるドラマティックな展開を見せてくれる。前作が粗々しいスケッチなら、本作はキャンヴァスいっぱいに描いた総天然色のサウンドスケープ。その自信に満ちたタッチから、音楽を作る喜びが伝わってくる。
