Girlfriends

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Girlfriends recently had their first release on Beequeen's private label Plinkity Plonk. The next release will be a collaboration LP with Girlfriends (drum, guitar, bass, effects) & Beequeen (electronics, cello, turntable, tapes, noises). The instrumentation consists of guitar, drums and noise. How they choose to assemble these elements suggests what old school Can might sound like if Derek Bailey (or Sonny Sharrock) were their guitarist. Lots of open cosmos that gets filtered into noisy but compelling rhythmic excursions which then float back out to the fringes the galaxy. The prognosis is prog gnosis; occasionally beautiful instrumental lyricism which tends to become explosive.
