Now another waxing on Captured Tracks, this time a beauty 12" disco frisbee by the rather odd Girls at Dawn. Initially I was a little reserved about another shambling US girl trio specialising in smudged Spector-ish indie but this 4 tracker has totally restored my faith. They've a rather ghostly, rattly sound with their displaced strumming, tambourine heavy production & blurred vocals propped up with some incredibly curious psychedelic effects & loose, spacious production. The songs are forged from pretty basic 60's inspired harmony-drenched pop but are in turn incredibly loveable & quite individual sounding - all these little hooks stay with you ages afterwards. Top marks for the spooky, trippy sleeve! So where does Scooby Doo fall into this hauntological equation? Strange lasses, I want more!!Right on the the heels of their debut 7" on HoZac comes this 4-song 12" EP. Drawing from post-punk, psychedelic and 60's pop influences, these three girls from Brooklyn make haunting melodies bridged with there/not-there ghostly arrangements.
