5.0 out of 5 stars I love this band, October 5, 2006

This review is from: Morning After Girls (Audio CD)

The Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, Jesus and Mary Chain, the Byrds and some hippies on acid all had a roll in the hay in the Aussie Outback, and nine months later, out popped the Morning After Girls. Much of the Girls' strength lies in their wearily sexy vocals and swirling bed of guitars, strings and harmonies. My love for the Morning After Girls began with their first EP, which features fuzzed out guitars, the dueling vocals and songwriting of Sacha Lucashenko and Martin Sleeman and lots of tambourine. From opening track "Straight Through You," which would have fit perfectly in between the Mamas and the Papas and Buffalo Springfield at Monterey Pop Festival '67 to final track "Lazy Greys" with it's whispered count-in and gorgeous boy-girl harmonies, the EP is a 5-track introduction to a band that leaves you gagging for more.

The first track I heard off of EP 2 was through the video for "Hi Skies," which you can check out at their site, and I couldn't believe what I heard (or saw). On this track the opening "Three Four" count-in is screamed, not whispered, and Martin's vocals leave familiar territory and jump into a perfect rock scream/growl. The second EP in its entirety fits remarkably well with the first. Lead track "Chasing Us Under" flows perfectly from "Lazy Greys," with its gorgeous cello line and delicate guitar parts. "Always Mine" always makes me turn up the record, with its opening feedback and propulsive drumming.

Even though this is 2 EPs smushed together, it is an amazing introduction to this band.

Caution-
This band will take your brain on a drug-induced heroin ride, leaving your physical body behind in a quaking pile of flesh. What are you waiting for? Bombs away baby!

this cd is fantastic, I hadnt heard the morning after girls before I saw them open for BRMC. they put on a pretty amazing show, very much a wall of sound. the cd does the live experience pretty good justice, the songs are well written and have an exciting sound
