Girls On Film - High-energy stage antics and Dancetronic Glam Wave
The Girls traveled to Malibu in the Summer of 2008 to work on their latest record the Mental Image EP with legendary producer, GezaX (best known for his work on Meredith Brooks’ hit, “Bitch”, as well as many early and influential LA punk bands includingthe Dead Kennedys, The Germs, Black Flag, and The Avengers), and Paul Roessler of Screamers, Twisted Roots, and 45 Grave. The 9-song EP is chock full of memorable hooks and perfectly exhibits the band’s new-wave inspired sound that straddles the linebetween retro and postmodern. It also features several remixes by high-profile artists including Macutchi, Mike Lange and DJ F. Song themes cover such topics as unrealized love, obsession, and self-doubt, but lead singer, Rio’s, carefully calculated lyrics are sharp shooting and sophisticated. The EP’s two singles, “Pitiless Friend” and “Metrosexual”, feature the driving rhythms, icy synthwavehooks, and quirky vocals for which GIRLS ON FILMhave become known. Overall, the Mental Image EPcombines a rhythmic, sensual whiff of nostalgia with progressive ideas and is a surprisinglymodern-sounding album that brings a rock-and- roll attitude back to dance music. ![]() Bandmembers: Rio – vocals and text Kazhmir - bass and backing vocals Genre: Glamwave ![]() Tracklisting: 01.
