New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Soulow Records) - Glam-Wave darlings, Girls on Film, have partnered with Soulow Records to release their third studio recording, the Mental Image EP, which will be available
September 30, 2009.
Last summer the Girls traveled to Malibu to record with legendary producer, Geza X (best known for his work on Meredith Brooks' hit, "Bitch", as well as many early and influential LA punk bands including the 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 line between 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 synth-wave hooks, and quirky vocals for which Girls on Film have become known.
Over the last few years, Florida's Girls on Film have polished their signature sound, "Dancetronic Glam Wave," the fashion-fueled combination of high-energy stage antics and synthpop beats that have made the band's live show a must-see in the Southeast since their inception in 2002.
Within the last 2 years, the Girls have seen several songs from previous releases licensed for various film and TV projects including commercial spots on the AMC TV Network promoting the movie, "Working Girl", as well as "Honey Nut Cheerios", in addition to airplay on MTV Italia and inclusion in the documentary, "Liquid Vinyl".
Overall, the Mental Image EP combines a rhythmic, sensual whiff of nostalgia with progressive ideas and is a surprisingly modern-sounding album that brings a rock-and-roll attitude back to dance music.
