Release Notes:
Seattle, WA's the Girls have matured a bit since releasing
their self-titled debut album in 2005; while that LP was
described by one critic as "the Cars mixed with the
Buzzcocks," Yes No Yes No Yes No suggests that someone in the
band has been listening to Wire's Pink Flag, and flashes of
that album's sharply intelligent attack are plainly visible in
the formula. However, just because the Girls have been digging
deeper into the archives of the first punk-new wave era, that
doesn't mean they've been doing a whole lot of original
musical thinking, and Yes No Yes No Yes No sounds plainly
derivative, from the buzzy whistling of Derek Mason's
keyboards to Shannon Brown's mannered vocals. Of course, in
this era of "new new wave," the Girls are a few steps ahead of
their peers in that they manage to conjure an approximation of
the intelligence and sense of style of the
late-'70s/early-'80s bands they clearly love along with their
sound, and "Point of Departure" and "Where Wolves Drink" are
edgy enough to suggest this band might actually develop a
personality of its own given enough time. The Girls also have
the good sense not to wear out their welcome, as Yes No Yes No
Yes No runs just under 26 minutes, but until they learn how to
do more than ape their heroes, maybe it's just as well they
don't give themselves more room to move.
