Frontman Christopher Owens attached the following note when ‘Girls’ released their latest EP.
“A friend of mine once told me that all great art is inspiration and then just a lot of hard work. He’s a famous artist and used to say this to people who would ask him for the secret to his success. As a band we’ve come to learn that this is true. We’ve been welcomed with open arms by so many of you over the last year or so that in turn we’ve spent all our time fulfilling invitations to play live everywhere around the world. Each time we thought we should give it a rest we would get another offer we just couldn’t refuse – who wouldn’t want to go to Japan and play with The Smashing Pumpkins, or Julian Casablancas in the south of France?
It’s true that when you give love you will receive love and it was only because of the love that we’ve received from our fans that we have been able to drastically improve the quality of our work. This record is a letter of intent, it’s a snapshot of the horizon. We took the money we’ve made on tour and worked with the kind of equipment and musicians that would have been too expensive for us in the past. All of us have something to say and give and this is what happens when we show a little interest and support in others. We couldn’t have made this record without you. So this is our gift to you, our way of saying thank you for giving us the chance to work at the level we’ve always wanted to and a taste of things to come.
We really couldn’t have done this record without each one of you. This isn’t Girls all grown up, but it’s certainly the next step up from Album. This is Broken Dreams Club – a record from our hearts to yours.
This is your new record as much as ours. Thank you for this opportunity and as always, thank you for listening.
- Christopher Owens”

the new Girls album Father, Son, Holy Ghost, is a rather spectacular piece of music, beginning to end. don’t sleep.
Great day for new videos…
from Stereogum..
“….“Vomit,” the moodily meditative first single from Girls’ forthcoming, second LP Father, Son, Holy Ghost now has an official video directed by Austin Rhodes. It’s crisp and sharp in a way that’s quite distinct from the band’s earlier, very memorable Focus Creeps clips, but is similarly vivid and transfixing. Chris Owens sings about spending nights alone looking for love, and most of the video focuses solely on a beautiful 1966 Ford Mustang convertible driving on remarkably empty urban streets. Eventually Chris’s teeth make an appearance, then his hands on a guitar, then his whole face, and Girls’ bassist JR White also stops in. But mostly this is an attempt to convey desolation and alienation in spite of a lifestyle of beauty and certain abundance, which a lonely, cherry red Ford Mustang cruising around the city streets nails pretty well….”
