Midnight Movies - Lion the Girl
Reviewed by margaret
Saying that Midnight Movies sounds like Stereolab meets Broadcast meets BRMC is so easy…but that doesn’t mean it’s not true. Not only that, but it really says good things about them, don’t you think? To be fair, Lion the Girl, the sophomore effort from the LA-based quartet, while harkening back to those deep, melodic influences, easily stands on its own as a nice piece of atmospheric work. Gina Olivier’s now fully-fronting vocals (she used to drum too) slip like a velvet glove around the precise noise created by her bandmates. Sometimes sweet, sometimes sour, Midnight Movies strikes a nice chord. [www.midnightmovies.net]
