    Though he can be likened to a number of classic singers, some of the all-time greats might I add, his work is his own and ultimately original in its identity.

    If Broken Dreams Club is indeed an honest glimpse of what's ahead, it sounds as though Girls have much more to give.

    Just after returning from a European tour in support of their breakout debut, Girls upgraded their recording equipment and chose six of their favorite new songs for the surprisingly conventional-sounding Broken Dreams Club EP.

    These six songs on the follow up to 2009's Album are beautifully crafted in the most stubborn way. Last years LP had its flaws and drones, but with Broken Dreams Club there are no mess ups or lazy recordings (God Damned from Album). Broken Dreams Club has trumpets, layered guitars and picture perfect drums, all surrounded by Chris Owens' Elvis Costello swing of vocals. This EP really brings out the potential these guys have and hopefully their sophomore album will continue to progress as the musicians discover their talents.… Expand
