Whether dangling from the rafters at a vet hall punk show or nestling up to a pillow in an opium den, the new Girls In Suede album swings with your mood through bouts of dance-punk, math rock and psychedelic soul jams. It’s armed with heavy sax riffs and convulsing guitar licks that splatter out of your speakers with Pollock-like abstraction, trumpeting the avant-spirit of Gravity and Dischord Records-era post-punkers.
With a quasi-Fugazi fury, Girls In Suede belt anthemic choruses atop sporadic melody mirrored in a disco ball of danceability — blowing kisses to the likes of Moving Units and Morphine. The Santa Rosa trio have been buds since high school, and carry their kinship into adulthood with this barrage of cosmic tunage. G.I.S. will be playing Hotel Utah this Wednesday and follow-up recordings to the new album are currently underway in eastside Smell-A.
